Freedom Sings

with shackles upon my feet
and girded with a yoke
this which i carry
weighs me down
pulling me into the depths
of quicksand
each step i take
pulls me further
the ground consumes me
smothering me with the memories
as the darkness surrounds me
with no light insight
my air is stolen from me
drowning in the muck
it is my dungeon
where you have tossed me
allowing me to
surface briefly
pendulous
between the past and present
giving you control
over my life
until
i eventually free
that which holds me down
