Free

You turned the key

To unlock the door

The room was bare

So I sat on the floor

I waited and waited

No one ever came

Then panic began

This wasn't a game

It became so dark

Shivering, its cold

Reality found me

A truth to behold

Quiet me forever

You lock me away

I kicked, I clawed

I've refused to stay

The walls caved in

Forever I am free

I will tell the world

You had abused me

Fire

I had quite alot I needed to burn

 

Gathering sticks I built me a fire

 

This heart load of old memories

 

Each tossed, flames grew higher

 

I cried, they'd been there so long

 

Let it go or cling to nothingness

 

For every one that I'd thrown in

 

Not a one could have cared less

 

After awhile I had only a flame

 

And then barely even an ember

 

A dirty fire had cleaned me out

 

Of all I didn't want to remember
