Keys to Freedom

re-taking control

 

Keys to Freedom

By: Lorraine Pearson

June 2, 2007

I can recall

Your mitts

Grabbing

The wheel

Stopping me

From going

To places where

I'd feel.
No!

Your need to

Control me

Simply went too far

Too many years

I let you

Keep me where

YOU are.
 

Now

I'm freed of

Your pain

As each day passes by

Living

Keeps getting better

I'm no longer

Dying

In a lie.

Isn't it interesting how toxic people want us to be miserable just like they are?
"I let you
Keep me where
YOU are."
Powerful!
And how their poison makes us feel as if we're "Dying in a lie." It is interesting how there are such evocative words for such pain. You works is well crafted.
