PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I just wanna be free.  I wanna soar in the wide open space far above the restricting and demoralizing weeds and booby traps of this life that intend to defeat my spirit, disrupt my emotions, devastate my mind, and crush my hope.  Here at ground level I'm surrounded by limitless obstacles but limited possibilities, I look for the light but darkness blinds my eyes.   Where do I go? Where can I hide? Who can I call?  I go inside.  Deep within, down below I take refuge in the dark dungeon of my own existence .  I am my best friend, I am my comforter, I am my encourager, I am my protector.  In my lonliness I tell myself I will never leave, when the tear begins to swell I wipe it away, when I decide to give up I tell myself one more step, when the enemy of life closes in, I surround myself closer still.  I take shelter in the darkness of my own existence.
