Free

I want to be free

free of the ropes that bind me

free of the visions that blind me

free to enter the great void of nothingness

to never again face sunshine

for I, being far too pale,

should never play in the sun

and each time I bask...I burn



I will be free

free to hide away forever

free to shy away from the fatal touch of emotion

free to flee and to hide

to stay where I am invisible

for when they see me, they touch me

and that hurts so bad



I am now free

free to remain immortal,

free to be untouched and unseen

free to walk out unscathed

to finally be able to sleep

for I am no longer afraid  of darkness

and I am no longer afraid to close my eyes forever
