She's trapped
Frozen in hatred, frozen in tears
She's trapped
In the midst of depression, lost are her years
She's trapped
Heart is decaying, steadfast are her fears
She's trapped
Anger binds to the demons, dark smoke never clears

She fights
Hold back the hatred, disregard of the tears
She fights
Set her free from depression, earn back her years
She fights
Heart slowly growing, weak are her fears
She fights
Anger torn from the demons, smoke beginning to clear

She's free
No longer with hatred, released from her tears
She's free
Flys away from depression, now living her years
She's free
Heart's fully grown, dissapeared are her fears
She's free
Long gone are her demons, dark smoke fuly cleared.


The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.
~Isaiah 9:1-2

This is a wonderful piece. It's true, if you want it bad enough, NOTHING can keep you from the light. We all have battles to fight with our demons, and this poem reminds us that the fight can be won. Thank you for sharing this with us.

PS- love your quote!

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

This was great and the format rocks. I'm proud of you and it seems as every poem runs along you gain a bit of knowlegde.
