The Key

Chained up to a wall
 Nowhere to run, no one to call
 So alone in this dark dismal place
 Yopu can barely recognize my battered face
 Arms cuffed so tight
 No room to move my legs
 Prisoner of what's right
 My body smacked with eggs
 Lessons must be learned
 or else I'll get burned
 My body aches with such great pain
 Healing whip scars look like popping veins
 My heart feels warmth, comfort and security
 But my mind hears chains rattling infinetly
 I realize for a second or maybe two
 My dream of freedom will come true
 My heart, mind, body and soul will perspire
 A rampage of my passionate desires
 Life will be complete and hopefully fulfilled
 Breaking these chains that hold me so still
 I have found the angelic spirit to set me free
 My one true love, the other half, my freedom, my dream,
 It's me
 The Key
