its been a long time <br />haven't seen the light in years <br />locked underground, <br />silenced <br />trapped <br />frightened <br />havent felt the fresh breeze <br />havent smelled the beautiful flowers <br />havent climbed the tall trees <br />i was locked away by the beast, <br />he tore my soul out of me, <br />and threw me into the dank darkness <br />now i am free, <br />free from uncertainty <br />free from blackness, <br />free from captivity, <br />but i wonder <br />where is the beast <br />what happened to it <br />how did i escape <br />why did it leave, <br />was it that lost stone i found, <br />that i picked up and ran with as i escaped? <br />did it ward away the beast <br />i wonder....<br /><br />Wandering Scarlet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/escape-6/
