Claustrophobia

(Poem by Serenus)

 

 

This world is not big enough

To fit both me

And your opinion

Of who I should be...

I refuse to make room-

It’s impossible to breathe

I must break free!

 

I can’t accept

That my life’s assignment

Resides in solitary confinement

My own personal cell-

A custom made Hell

That you have planned for me

I’m ready to leave

I must break free!

 

I’m more than what you

Made me out to be

Stronger than what

Your eyes can see

Please be my guest

Underestimate me

I must break free!

 

 Forever trapped

In a man-made box

With bars and chains

 And combination locks

Unable to shed

The labels placed upon my head

Losing my own identity

I must break free!

 

 I won’t accept

Your expectations

Living in regret,

Discarding my aspirations...

I will make it my mission,

To break out of this prison

No matter how long it takes me

I will not let you break me

I must break free!

 

 Seeing something

That no one else sees

That staying true to myself

Is the only freedom key

Being who I was born to be

With no apologies!

I WILL break free!

A powerful poem. Sometime no option. We must escape before we lose our spirit and energy. Many kind of people.
"Being who I was born to be
With no apologies!
I WILL break free!'
