You've Set Me Free

by Brittney Follett   Mar 3, 2008


Chained and condemned to be in eternal darkness
Doomed to live in despair and heartache for eternity
Until you entered, then you illuminated my world.
You broke my bonds and held me in your arms gently.

You've Become My Light

Drowning inside a world of chaos and damnation.
Suffocating on the evil and pollution of man,
You rescued me, brought breath back into my soul
Dragging me out, never letting go of my hand.

You've Become My Air

Frozen from the cold that lies in hearts of humanity
I was shivering inside the cruelty of the universe.
You held me, brought heat back into my heart.
Protecting and saving me from the world's worse.

You've Become My Warmth

Battered and abused by the blows of man's words
Rebuked and harassed by the eyes of those close
You defended me from them and kept me safe
Your love is cherished and inside me, it echoes

You've Become My Shield

I was trapped inside an ocean of malignancy
Imprisoned in a cage made of animosity
You helped me escape and move on in life
You have filled my heart where it was empty

You've Set Me Free

    Clever the way you have made the second to last line of each stanza directly relate to the line after each stanza that stands alone. I thought the word choice and flow were good. This is one of my favorites by you. Nice job.

    The vocab in this poem was really interesting and I loved the structure you used with the 4 line stanzas and then the single line, linking the two together. It's really effective. My favourite stanza was:

    "Drowning inside a world of chaos and damnation.
    Suffocating on the evil and pollution of man,
    You rescued me, brought breath back into my soul
    Dragging me out, never letting go of my hand."

    5/5

    This poem I absolutely adored and I'm adding it to my favorites poem list. I will definitly have to keep an eye on for more of your work. This was a friendship poem yet held so much love and could also be portrayed as a romance poem. The warmth and emotion expressed through each line was breath taking. Honestly your emotive language is beautiful. I loved the one line in between each stanza, It was quite effective and really capturing. Overall this is an amazing poem. Well done. ~Mel
