Release Me
RELEASE ME
Release me
Release me from the pain that has absorbed my soul
Release me from the hatred that has eaten all my insides
Release me because I can no longer carry on
Release me for this burden is too much for me
Release me for I am suffocating and drowning…
Oh release me from the prison of fear and anger
Save me from myself
Save me from the suffering
Oh my poor soul
Release me so I can tell my redemption story
I have survived
Now release me for I can no longer be captured
Release me
About this poem
I wrote this poem as a way to speak out and free myself from the pain I have endured in the past. I needed to be released in order to heal.
