• Every day my
    heart breaks more.

    Every day
    I feel life’s pressure
    more and more.

    Every day I stride
    to be free,
    but life’s pressure’s
    fall back upon me.

    I stare down the road of life
    and make my way past the gate’s of hell,
    a path I must take
    to save myself.

    I take a deep breath,
    swallow my fears,
    and begin the long fight
    for my freedom.

    I stare at my obstacles
    dead in the face
    as they cower
    and disappear.
    Now
    my mind is at peace.

    I stand
    and begin to walk on my own
    once more.
