Free Me

Take me away from this place
Abduct me from myself
Kill these thoughts that will not cease
Establish them in someone else

Again I voice frustration,
We should allow these things to pass
Anger, fear and adrenalin unchained
Yet I still accept this this task

From this dark place I need to move
Reclaim what once was good
Ominous unbridled thoughts flow
With the melancholy memories of a fool

Heros we were not born to be
But everyone has that inner fight
Regretted acts, and deeds endured
Every day we rise, we strive

    Take me away from this place
    Abduct me from myself

    ^^The first line sounded like you were telling someone
    dear to take you away with that person. But the second line...yes a
    twister this is a thing I wish I could do too!

    Yet I still accept this this task

    ^^I think one "this" will do here..

    From this dark place I need to move
    Reclaim what once was good
    Ominous unbridled thoughts flow
    With the melancholy memories of a fool

    ^^That is the moment where no matter how hard you
    try you can't run away from the past and the wrongs committed
    which makes you not like you at all. Pity we can't hide or throw it
    away from our mind but retains as a lesson for life.

    Heros we were not born to be
    But everyone has that inner fight
    Regretted acts, and deeds endured
    Every day we rise, we strive

    ^^and this is life we learn from our mistakes and every time
    we are about to do something it comes up as a reminder. Each day is a
    struggle and each day we have to learn to survive and be good.

    A write that makes a reader to sit back and agree...take care

    We are sometimes our own worst enemy and when you spend alot of time by yourself well you need an escape..

      Yup. Even if sometimes it's only in literature.
