At night i lay awake <br />Locked in my nocturnal state <br /> My mind can't stop racing <br />As my thoughts continue their retracing <br /> Of the events in these past months <br /> <br />I have left a home to discover on my own <br /> Who i am meant to be <br />Away from the oppressing fear, that you <br /> Are ever present and omniescent <br /> <br /> I've come out of my shell <br />A bird out of her cage <br /> My true colors can finally show through <br />I know i can acomplish all that i set out to do <br /> <br /> The people I've met, and the things that they do <br />The clothes that i wear and my outspoken views <br /> In what I believe and the love i profess <br />My turmoiled emotions and sin unconfessed <br /> <br /> I've escaped from your murderess prison <br />I'm from under your ruthless shelter <br /> And in all that i do <br />I've succeded, no thanks to you<br /><br />Guarded Heart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-that-i-do/
