Poem

Free

I have been through
the fire
of
addiction.
enslaved
for years
by 
an illusion.
a monsterous
ugly
beast
revealed
leaves me
battered
broken 
and 
bruised.
I crawl away
with 
my life
I have
been
to
hell.

raven artlyy Date: 9/16/2026 5:56:00 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
Beata Agustin Date: 4/6/2024 6:16:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
