Freedom

by Jose   Aug 31, 2007


You continue to put yourself down
That smile on your face should really be a frown
The world is crashing down on top of you
You've lost sense of what to do
All those burdens on your shoulder are more than you can handle
All you have to light your crooked pathway is a candle

"I'm always a mess, I've made so many mistakes" is plastered on your heart
"I wish i could just die" you cry
You cry out "Why God? Why?!"
He's not answering, what can you do?
You're a lost, broken, soul in your burnt out world

But you listen to the arguments that go on inside your head
You lay down in pain on your bed
All the abuse you've put on yourself rages inside of you
You want to inflict pain upon you
Yet deep flown inside a voice says that your beautiful, special, divine
Your smile is as bright as the sunshine
Your eyes light up like the moon
You sit up in your spinning room

Now that fresh, sweet, tasteful feeling spreads throughout your soul
Your scars on your arms begin to vanish
Your aches and pains begin to dissipate
What happened to all the hate?

Suddenly the burdens on your back don't feel so heavy
It's been awhile since you've felt like this
Your body begins to feel warmth like from a kiss
That candle turns to a bright shining light
Your heart begins to take flight
You feel free

Freedom is what you've wanted, what you've needed
"Please give me Your mercy!" you've pleaded
You feel a hand stroke your scarlet brown hair
This is more pleasure than you can bear

Then you wake up, it was all a dream
"Why can't that be real?!" you start to scream
You crave the feeling, Freedom
You want it back, it won't come back
"It's not real" you mumble to yourself
But as you close your eyes you begin to cry
You feel that hopelessness you once felt and hour ago
Your tears begin to grow
"Why.....why...." you keep on repeating

You want that feeling
You crave that warmth
You want to stop hurting but you don't know how
"What can i do?" you ask yourself
"How can i get.......
FREEDOM?"
