eerie screams
in the middle of the night

my heart and home
trembling from his words
and deeds, so dark..

yet, i also hear
my runaway train
out of sight.

The longing
from the hole
that once held my heart..

to the deepest recesses
of my soul..

That has just received
A long needed
jumpstart

trying to answer
its fervent call..

but my weakened legs
and beaten body
are afraid..

of running
afraid to fall..

my spirit
used to be so free  

now this bird has a cage
With no hopeful feelings
of finding its key..

stuck in this self-fulfilled prison

such a dark place
with its audience-less stage

hearing the rumbling
that voices its own freedom..

I wonder?
if tickets are only
handed out to some...

could I possibly be one?

dark and ominous
it may seem to be
only a cage
even clothed in darkness..

has a bright light
That starts to shine
within me.

dreams had
of joining my runaway train..

Dreaming for
so long..
farewell

feelings
that needed fulfilling
feelings so strong!

I felt scared and thrilled

but I take my ticket..

Nothing will stop me

I'm taking my ride..

I'm breaking free
of this cage that binds..

I'm going to escape
this place, so dark
Where at most times
I was blind..

But, I catch my breath
with an excited gasp..

no cage to stop me..

running
and
running
away, so fast..

I jump up
and tightly grasp..

my freedom
at long last..

I've finally caught
my runaway train.
