Freedom Part 1A Story by Kathryn SmithI heard it from the State They told me you were never gonna let me get away And my heart goes beat beat beat I had to get away
You once told me You wanted my mind and you got it You held it in your cold hands and filled it with false hope false words false love When I came back to get my mind You scourged me and in your cold bare hands You captured me Tore my heart open Joy decomposed Hope ran from my eyes Innocence drained out It trickled down my cheeks I broke in half You left my body vacant For I could not dance Crashing
I ran away I needed air I had to get away But your ghost ran after me Still in your cell I reside A wicked thing you did To lock me away and hide In the distance I heard a whistle In the dead of night there came a train The train wreck you created ran For I could see the light At the end of my hellish prison I took my feet of sores My fingers of shame My head of torture I tasted freedom This body of mine She has a name Beautiful I am and Beautiful I'll be That is one thing You never did take from me I can see on the horizon A better place
A place full of love and wonder Off the tracks I jumped Hit the ground sprinting I entered a new world A world where I could become A woman who was free from you No longer torn © 2016 Kathryn SmithAuthor's Note |
