Break Away
pulling against the chains
that hold me in place
gasping for every breath
as my lungs empty into the void
staring back at me
the darkness creeps closer
then i break away
the chains fall and i take off running
through the vast nothingness
chasing dreams
i thought i had lost
I break out of your hold
you don't own me anymore
there is nothing
nothing for you to take from me
nothing more for you to break
i am free to live my own life
now
that i had broken free
that hold me in place
gasping for every breath
as my lungs empty into the void
staring back at me
the darkness creeps closer
then i break away
the chains fall and i take off running
through the vast nothingness
chasing dreams
i thought i had lost
I break out of your hold
you don't own me anymore
there is nothing
nothing for you to take from me
nothing more for you to break
i am free to live my own life
now
that i had broken free

Another solid write! And one that I can relate to, as well.

Strength cones in the darkest forms and it's something that you have displayed in this poem, sometimes it's just all you have left to look to and comfort yourself in ,that even though they've taken everything there's freedom to gain. Good write .
