Tears shred this helpless soul inside <br />Held back to hide the pain <br />Like iced blades, they cut the ties <br />And mock these many faces <br /> <br />Behind closed doors there is no pride <br />No need, no smile to feign <br />My failures seek no place to hide <br />Here on these private pages <br /> <br />Here dreams are made and hope still thrives <br />Where time will not decay <br />Tomorrow has but to arrive <br />To loose me from these cages <br /> <br />But, will I fight or will I fly <br />When faced with a new day? <br />The question is, “to live or die? ” <br />Though on the battle rages<br /><br />Christopher Thor Britt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unfettered-4/
