I am confined <br />Inside of a prison <br />Built on my mistakes <br />They have held me ransom <br />Squeezed me dry <br />I am confined <br />Forever gone to you <br />I am confined <br />They hold me down <br />Beat me up <br />Make me submit to their haunting <br />To them <br />Confined <br />Inside of me <br />Tearing to get out <br />My mistakes, my sins <br />Living their own lives <br />Contradicting mine <br />Confined <br />I am confined <br />Sold out to them <br />Horrible oppression <br />Weighing down <br />On me <br />Crushing me <br />Beneath their weight <br />Pushing me their way <br />I am confined <br />Yearning to be free <br />And yet <br />They loosen <br />Their grip is gone <br />I have finally <br />Been set <br />FREE <br />So wondrous <br />So beautiful <br />FREE from even my most weighty sins <br />Alive <br />And feeling <br />FREE <br />No more of that dark despair <br />That which confines is dead and forgotten <br />FREE <br />From all <br />I have outlasted <br />Ran away <br />To fight another day <br />Free to live <br />Free to love and go as I please <br />Free from all oppression <br />Free from pain <br />Free from hurt <br />Finally <br />Free <br /> <br />(8-8-2010)<br /><br />Austin Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/confined-and-freed/
