Future hope

I have been in this cold place for so many years of my life that I thought all hope had died.They almost crushed my spirit,my soul,and my heart.With all their might they have tried.I can almost see the light beyond this darkness surrounding me.I will emerge stronger as I walk out into the light.I will rejoice with everyhing within me when I am free.Their tyranny was almost unbearable.They tried to cut me down and make me into what they wanted me to be.They wanted a mindless drone to their deeds without question.They wanted a puppet whose strings they could pull in any direction.They know they are losing control.I am like a caged animal,I snarl and they back away slowly,trembling in fear.Fear of my unstoppable rage if they keep pushing and poking at me when I can not escape.The devastation I could unleash upon them would be of epic proportions.But one thread of restraint still remains.I could snap at this very moment and put an end to this pain.Will they push me over the edge?Of this I can not be sure.I have one person,for all of this I am willing to endure.They may have won many battles in this fight,but I will have won this war.To see their reign of terror come to an end and them finally falling to their knees.When that day comes I will be pleased.I can finally be the person I want to be instead of being cloaked in a dark shroud of mystery.I can see an end in sight.Oh how great it will be.
