Taste of Freedom

Chains
Forged by you
Designed to hold me down
Loosening
Weakening

Your iron grip
That forced me to lye
To sit by your side
Unclenching
Relaxing

The web 
You cast around me
To make me stay 
Untwining 
Unwinding

Everything you've done
Broken, erased, destroyed
You have no more control
I run away to my first
Taste of freedom
