PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My loneliness has lead me here to a point of no return

I'll walk to the bridge and let myself go

The air brushes back my hair and I feel the rush of a lack of fear

As the ice cold water surrounds me the ball and chain seduce me down

I follow were they lead

Although it's hard to keep the pace I'll be the winner of the race

Crown me the victor or make me the knight cause I've been through hell

To get to this point I was brought in and set to flames

The mocking was deafening and the laughter pierced me

Through my wrists and feet crucifing me to a cross

And as I felt my breath fade the darkness flooded my eyes

Hitting the river bottom semiconscience and in a daze

I prayed with the Fish as friends and the Current for my priest

I asked Him to take me some place other than far away

I asked Him to break me free of my ball and chain

And as I floated to the surface free of the weight of the past

I felt a surge of light shine on my whipped scarred back

Highlighting every old mistake I never made

Showing every wound healed that once guided me here

Free of hate but full of remission I filled my lungs with air

Swam to the bank where the Trees held their ground

Pulled myself ashore walked a new path of life

I found a new faith and the Current lead my way
