Bereft

Eugene S.

Before I could even understand
Everything this world would offer
Removal from society, is where I land
Endentured, enslaved and beaten
Fraught with fear and damned
To remain forever cheated

Blinded by walls surrounding
Envious of the world outside
Remiss of respect - so demanded
Ever aware of whose house I reside
Forgotten, freely reprimanded
To submit until my utter demise

Bravery would slowly take root
Ending the acquiescence
Rejection would soon follow suit
Enhancing a running license
From there on, would try to reboot
Then remove the childhood sentence

    Fear is the greatest prison. Extracting ourselves from in we become free, wherever we reside. Instinctively good piece!
