Freedom's Pain

A Poem by Abby

A poem about the way I view life, and what I feel every day.

I don’t know what it is inside me,

I don’t know why it’s just so hard to see

All the truth that pours from our lives,

That lets us be unbound from lies.

But now what I what I feel inside me,

Isn’t all that I know my heart could be.

There’s so much more for us to know,

But it’s so hard to let it show.

I don’t why I can’t break through this,

I don’t why something’s always amiss.

It seems like my soul is on fire,

Never finding my heart’s true desire.

It doesn’t lie in love, in light or truth,

Not even the distance of my youth.

Why can’t I sense the pain that’s real?

Why is it that I can never feel?

It always seems like there’s dark inside of me,

But I know it continually lets me see.

It’s not what most people would think of,

It is not evil, hate or ending love.

It’s the passion that lets our hearts bleed free,

The feeling of freedom comes to me.

In the depths of the night I must decide,

To stand, to fight, to run or hide.

It’s the sense of strength that keeps me alive,

While I think of other ways to survive.

My mind will always set me free,

The future, and all that we can be.

Oh this is wonderful. The emotion and flow of this poem is great. You deffinitly convey the message that you are confused, trust me, we all are about...well, everything. :) Eventually, we will find the temperary answer, and as we grow and (hopefully) learn, we may change what we think. But, for the most part, we're just going to be lost in the dark, waiting for our god(s)/goddess(es) to bring us home.
