I hide in the shadow
Behind closed curtains and doors
Away from people
Afraid of the future
Because of the past
Severed friendships
And spiteful memories
Like rusting chain
Binding my ankles
To stop me running
And leaving it all behind
I don't want to
Live like this
I much clench my fists
Prepare to fight
To break the bonds that hold me back
Lay the past to rest at last
To many tears
Have rolled down my cheek
But no longer
Its time to take charge
And lead my life
The way I want to.
