Escape

I screamed.

Yet no one heard through the motions of their own day

 I cried out for freedom

But was stifled by the pressure of four walls closing in on my creativity

Expression relieves the build up of every day life

To silence that?

Well, that would mean drowning in the sea of thoughts

It could mean being anchored to the mundane when I was made to soar

It would mean…

Isolation

The created completely closed off to the Creator

I need freedom.

Most of all, I need Him

I must escape

Let Go

I trembled

Looking down at my raw wrists and blood stains

Almost choking on a sharp inhale

I let go

Finally.

The fear weighed down my right hand

While my left was bound with regret

I dragged them both toward my destiny

But they dug into my skin

The small steps didn’t hurt as much

Then came the leaps of faith

I tripped from the entanglement

I cried but to no avail

I wondered why I couldn’t get ahead

Took a knee to talk to Him

As I brought my hands up to my chest

They were busy

While my left was bound with regret

Fear weighed down my right hand

Finally.

I let go

Almost choking on a sharp inhale

Looking down at my raw wrists and blood stains

I trembled

Finally free
