Soon I'Ll Be Free

I cried thru the days
And I cried thru the nights
For so many years
I have shed my tears

The days were long
The nights were short
I was always tired
But wished I was wired

I kicked with my feet
I punched with my hands
All that pain
With nothing to gain

My enemies were many
My friends were few
I wanted to hide
And never go outside

I didn’t want to live
I wanted to die
My energy was zapped
I felt I had snapped

My fears were strong
My faith so weak
Inside I was mad
But outside so sad

I forgot the doors
When I built my walls
As high as the sky
So no one could spy

With so many lies
I fought hard for the truth
And now that I see
Soon I’ll be free

Excellent write of so many of our lives... If you let it life can get better... Always look over the walls toward the light.

Chin up girl friend! The best is yet to come. After the storm, comes the calm. Your storm is coming to an end, from the mere fact you are writing your feelings. God bless. One love Joy Wells.
