The Sunday Muse #53
Lying here with thoughts of
how have my steps led me to here
I see myself dreaming with my eyes open
Longing for what could be
Plans of escape do not escape me
the howling winds and pitter patter of rain
help to formulate my plan of escape
I see my departure along the dock
ready to weather the storm and
return to a life of pleasure and peace
that has escaped me thus far
To regain a childhood lost and
become a woman of free will
with ease of voice and one
who makes her decisions
as she so desires
The choice is now mine
what shall I do
escape or stay
Years of fear and control
have clouded and altered my mind
a spark of will has ignited and refuses
to be extinguished
I shall sail to freedom
