Set Me Free
I can't keep it inside
It tries to break out, it can't hide,
I have to release it
I know I can't ever defeat it,
But it's a way of coping,
A way of hoping,
This way at least
Me it might stop choking.
If I don't I feel it screaming
It's the only way to stop it
To make sure it's leaving,
I want to slow down
I don't want to rush,
But I also have to learn to admit
When enough's enough.
I always try and try
Even if people say I lie,
If you've got the wrong look
You may as well give up now
Your goose is cooked,
Because you know for sure
That you haven't won the battle
And you aren't going to win the war.
But sometimes perseverance
Determination and dedication
Are what drives me more in my heart
Than any piece of paper application,
You may not be the best at something
But so long as you have a passion
For what you do
It shines out, genuine and true,
And already in your mind you've won.
It's what keeps me going
When I think I'm stopping, I'm slowing,
The fact that I love what I do
More than people who can do it better and quicker,
It's the fire in me
The sun I see,
The flames in me spark
And I know I'm no quitter,
Because I am who I am
I am who I need to be,
So let go of me now
And set me free.

Freedom
is an inside job. Choose your battles carefully because sometimes it is better to be happy than to be right. Great write Jewel thanks for sharing.

if a flagrant shot in the dark makes its mark is it grossly lucky ?
Thank you ☺
It's like that saying, ignorance is bliss...I'd far rather be happy than always want to prove others wrong :) thanks for commenting Ron :) ♥

You must always have faith in yourself...because if you don't have faith, then how is anybody else to have it for you? This was a piece that I read twice over, and every word is true to me. I like the way you seem to have come to terms with who you are as the poem nears its ending. At the beginning of the piece there was such fear, and then near the climax of the piece it was like an 'awakening'. Keep writing.
