Someone wishes to escape A prison that binds their dreams The dastardly confines of Another human being Who should hold the key? That keeps another jailed What sinister mechanism To keep them locked away Mental methods of control More binding than the ropes That keeps a person jailed And dashes out their hopes Apparitions of freedom Aren't all they seem When one is brutalized Mentally behind the scenes Can't you hear the cries? As she pleads to leave Let loose of her spirit For once do what is right You had many chances To make it all right So many times forgiven By her over and again You are a coward! You're sucking the life out But she still can dream Of a life of happiness Now! Now is the time To relinquish the hold Let her breathe freedom Give back her life! |

The keyholder remains the keyholder. Taking action will create the magic wand, To borrow from Goethe: "Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Excellent writing, embrace it, my friend. I am a Life Purpose Coach who specializes in assisting men and women to clarify their Life Purpose and then in turn live true to their purpose. After 5 years working with the Severely Mentally Ill in County Mental Health, I gave up the bureaucracy (and safe, secure blanket) of this environment to pursue my own purpose and passion. |

I appreciate the input concerning my writing. I truly value it. Shawn Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace with yourself. --Amelia Earhart |
