Break Free
Folder:
Personal (Hope) Inside, looking out
at everything that could be
but stuck on this side
of the glass,
I could never break free
of the fear surrounding me.
Doubt is closing in,
a wall plated with mirrors
revealing the failure in me;
if only I could shatter
the image staring back.
Within the confines
of this suffocating home,
I exhale a lone sigh
as the world continues
outside the cold walls.
I wish I could escape
to the other side
where promise and hope
reside in greener grasses
and wide, open spaces.
