FREE FALL TO FREEDOM
Anxiety gnaws on my mind,
Like a dog on a bone.
MY brain fully engaged in introspection,
Unheeding of the winding road i drive on.
The sun is shining,
But to my jaded eyes
there is a curtain of clouds permanently shrouding the light,
Drowning my world in darkness.
The sheer weight of my lost years weighs heavily upon my soul
like a cage I can never break free from.
My depressing past overshadows my gloomy future,
Colouring my bright dreams in dreary shades of grey.
I rationalize my existence, telling myself that I am not alone,
But I know in my heart of hearts I stand alone
Against the demons of my dark imagination.
No more.
I long to lash out.
To break free.
To rid myself of my nightmares that feed upon my blackened heart.
With a savage jerk I spin the wheel,
Forcing my coffin of metal past the guard rails.
Hear them screech in protest,
Trying to preserve my pathetic existence.
I suddenly plunge over the precipice, feel myself become as light as a feather.
A sense of euphoria engulfs all my senses.
I shake off my shackles of shame.
I am free.
