Breaking Free : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : Shelly Wiseberg


Breaking free from chained ideas

with shackled hearts locked away

in emotional confinement.

Many years wandering around in silence

far away from principles and justice,

questioning motives of innocence or guilt

of passionate crimes with personal intent,

prosecuting yourself with no line of defence.

Mental exhaustion from unslept nights

trapped in a cell of nightmarish frights.

Muffled screams in darkened rooms

fighting for your life from death and gloom.

Jury of decision can go either way,

breaking free or here I stay,

with a shackled heart locked away

freedom is taken when the stakes are too high,

happiness to pay of truth denied.
