Free

you gained my trust
brightened my days
a child forgotten
lost in my ways....
you lead me to the edge
then pushed me over
I held on....
a little crevice I found
my hands are aching
my fingers bleeding
but I won’t let go
I’m growing stronger
gaining my wings
able to release
all the pain
all the memories
and fly away
soon I will be free
