BREAKING FREE

She Found Herself Wandering in The Gates of Hell,

She Stumbled and Lost Her Path,

She Was Disoriented and Was Going Off Track,

With Each Step,

She Was Destroying Every Bridge She Ever Built,

She Was Going Astray,

It Was No Longer a Secret That Could Be Swept Under the Rag.

She Finally Gave Up the Ghost,

And Chucked Up the Sponge of Her Fake Smile,

And Waved the White Flag by Letting a Tear Run Down Her Cheek,

And Whispered to Herself, “I Can’t Do This Anymore”

She Decided to Pull Herself Up by Her Bootstraps,

And Break the Mold of Her Once Downhearted Self,

By Turning The Tide of Her Once Dejected Existence,

And Come Out on Top of Her Out of Sorts Phase of Life.

So, She Decided to Go for Her Words,

The I Cant’s, The I Wont’s, The It’s Impossible, The I’m Not Good Enough.

She Lined Them Up and Shot Them Dead,

Then She Went for The Impossible, Her Thoughts,

Invisible And Everywhere…

There Was No Time to Gather Them One by One,

So, She Made the Ultimate Sacrifice,

To Wash Them Out Entirely

She Wanted to Overcome Her Bruises and Scars,

By Wiping Her Mind Clean,

But For a Moment She Was Out of Breath…

Her Lungs Were Almost Choking Out,

But Her Desire to Wipe Off the Self-Hate off Her Bones,

Could Not Be Contained by Anything,

Because She Was Determined to Be Vulnerable and Fragile,

So That She Could Expose All the Love That Was Buried

You Know, She Realized…

Rest Is Not Defeat,

A Day Is Not a Lifetime

And

It’s Okay to Take a Moment from A Fractured and An Anxious Mind,

Because The World Will Not Stop Turning While She Gets Realigned

So, In the Stillness of The Night,

A Star Shines with All Her Might,

A Celestial Shown So Fine

In the Crevices of The Soil,

A Star Is Born

Reminding Her of Ideas She Never Knew She Understood,

Remember;

Sometimes You Have to Throw Away All Your Masks and Wear Your Soul to Get to Lasting Freedom and Joy.
