I need to be free

by Ingrid   Oct 28, 2007


For too long now
I have denied the essence of me

My soul has been kept in prison
longing to be set free

I must follow my inner voice
wherever it may lead me

I sang my song of freedom
locked inside a cage of gold

Denied of a full existence
and all of the splendor it could hold

I am a poet and a painter
this is the real me

I am sorry for the ones I leave behind
This is my destiny.....I need to be free
