these broken promises have
become my destiny
until my eyes opened to see
what has been in front of me all along
and to think that i've missed it
promises were made but promises didn't make me
my strenght may be weak but i'm the strongest i've ever been
i've allowed myself to become a victim of my enviroment
but now i've opened my eyes to see all that has been taken
but the fee seems small
for when i saw that their lies were my true destiny
from the scars on my soul to the ones on my skin
i let them in....
i let them in
the ones who saved the weak were the ones who robbed them of their emotions
so when you weren't looking i ran from the cage to be free but when i opened my eyes to see i relized that just because there aren't any walls doesn't always mean your free
my destiny

You have some strong emotions in this piece. Very good use of strong words. I would like to challange you to rework this. Capitalize and punctuate. With the use those tools this could be an even more powerful piece. The way it stands the reader pauses and excentuates where they feel is right. I would love to see what you come up with.
