Breaking Free (Poem)

Switch off

Alleviate distraction, Dark

I desire your embrace

Pacing the edge

In to the hurricane

Ravaging winds of disgrace

Past has passed

Those ravaging winds

Where do I lay my soul

Rest I will not

For I've too long

One thousand chains I pull

Weakening rust

Defenses exposed

Through miles and miles of torture

Dawning strength

I lift these hands

The earth, she screams in horror

I must say this is a very inspirational poem. I really enjoy how you set up your poems, which words rhyme, and the fact that the flow is always so wonderful. As always, I'm impressed. I enjoyed the piece in every way.

I have had to read and re-read to fully absorb all that this is.. For me it was packed full of emotions that made me feel like I was riding a pendulum on a clock.. The last stanza makes me feel like the struggles were over come and you were able to take control of the crazy train.. ??? I may be way off but I had fun reading none the less hahaha.. xo

[Damien Davison]

Great review, thanks a lot! You are right, I broke free of the chains. Though I hadn't really I later found out. But that's not in this haha.

Great imagery, excellent write.
For some reason this made me think of the story of fitzcaraldo pulling a ship over a mountain. Had the same feeling of trying to fight against rediculous odds.

Well done, D + thanks for sharing

Amazing work here. I love this poem! The... slightly detached words work wonderfully!
