Snared within the tangled web, so weaved
I am just not sure who to believe
The trusted ones, they have deceived
Leaving me… way behind
I fight to gain my footing, needed
But those trusted ones, they have succeeded
At leaving me to feel defeated
Having been messing… with my mind
But, down within, I can hope for light
Not falling victim to the night
With a flame of hope set to ignite
I’ll yet struggle… to be free
With each hand outward I’ll take a hold
And each foot forward, not be controlled
With my inner self to be extolled
I’m just learning… to be me

This is so powerful! As long as there's hope, nothing is lost! But the biggest takeaway, is to always be yourself. This is crazy....I'm working on a....sort of similar piece. Very interesting!! Truly enjoyed it!
Thank you, can't wait to read yours!
no truer words ever said .. and likewise none more truly read .. bravo
Neville, much appreciated, thanks!
We all get lost inside ourselves and if we manage to actual overcome all the things that may take us away from our own beings then that's what I call self love. Whether it's you breaking your self or another breaking you it's all we can do to stand up and take that extra look and truly find ourselves. A beautiful subject. ❤️
Teddy, thank you, I truly appreciate your thoughts and time.
It takes a certain amount of courage to break free from convention, and those around you. It's finding confidence in yourself that is rewarding. I find all of this and more in this beautifully crafted poem dear friend.
Bella, I really appreciate that, thank you!
