SET ME FREE

Trying to overcome the fear that I feel from sharing the things that I have done and that have happened to me....

The ideas are overwhelming,

the words don't want to come.

Fear keeps them captive,

prisoners of what I've done.

 

The truth shall set me free,

but not without a price.

Judgement comes for free

and never is it nice.

 

Hush my fears,

just keep them quiet.

Open my mind,

so that I can write it.

 

Find my inner strength,

to relieve another's burden.

Heal our hearts together,

through words I've never spoken.

I love this. It speaks for so many people, but a writer must have courage. How do you feel when you read somone reveal the same pain or flaw as you ? It's a gift given by a writer who said to hell with it..this is me. There are no perfect people out here. There are good people who have survived mental instituions, addictions, prostitution, and countless other tragedies. That was a beautiful piece that was honest. If you reveal a deep dark pain, and someone were to attack you, he would be ripped to shreds by all of us who have fallen. Be bold..release your pain in the way you know best. Rain..

the form encapsulates emotion, this is delving and
feels like a releasing of fears, expressed beautifully,
crafted with heart, touching in surrender, the rhyme
form is equally impressive, written with subtle flow, mike

yeah, that's the way to overcome the 'thought police' inside your head; doubt is the Heart killer and so with this pen, I'll write my Heart out again and again, and if you judge the words I say, to dash my Dreams in any way, then I'll write even more to soothe the Soul for the writing life is my real goal ...!

This piece is close to my heart. You have expressed this beautifully. Knowing where we came from - it has made us who we are - People who have been to hell - and back - have amazing stories to share. I would never throw bricks at glass houses. I live in one!

Beautifully articulated.

very interesting piece.

You've shared quite a bit here, in these 4 simple, and well written stanza's. Stanza 3 encapsulates the entire idea beautifully. This is a nicely written and expressive poem. Keep writing like this and that fear may pass pretty quickly.

This piece is so true although I only really only care about one judge and he is merciful and loving. You are right though many will judge what you write. I think this is a honest and there for moving piece. If people
judge you harshly then at least you are in Good Company Jesus was Honest and look what people did to him. Keep writing honest feelings because that is what moves people and makes them feel it. Very nicely done.

You are so right here, it's a scary thing to open up to a person, via writing or face to face. I'm glad you have the inner strength to do it. Enjoyable read and inspiring. T
