WALK TO FREEDOM
LONG WALK TO FREEDOM
What is this I see
So disheartening
Could it be my flaws starring at me
What is this I feel
So endearing
Could it be love yearning for me
I feel the rush deep within my loins
An influx of emotions
I fear there might be a surge
What is worse is that I feel lost in this rush
Anger, hate, joy, love, regrets, fear, pain, sorrow, glee; all of these I feel, all at once!!!
So deep are my thoughts
I try to find my way out of this valley of depression
What is this rush I feel
Deep in thoughts
I fear I'll remain forever lost
I can't explain it
Cos I don't even understand it
My past hunts and taunts me
I feel its tantrums in every air that I breathe
Yet the thoughts of a great future seeks to comfort me
How can this be
Is it possible to be set free and live in peace?
But my past had affirmed that there is no saving me
Like a debris in the wind
I'm tossed up and down
I swing from west to east
I know not that which I ought to believe
Shall I pay for my sins
Or shall I be set free?
What is this I see
Light? From whence does it shine
In this pit, what shall I do with it!!
See my flaws clearly around me?
Or my failures laughing scornfully at my defeat?
My adversaries throw bricks at me
They prepared a meal off bitter herbs and fed it to me, they poured me vinegar to drink
I know the taste of defeat
I feel it in my tongue and teeth
What shall I do with these bricks
Shall I make a bed off them, upon which I shall lay my head and sleep?
I know not that which I ought to believe
Is peace found in the pit
Or in being free?
Is there any saving me!!!!!!
Is it possible to be set free and live in peace?
Or have I already been set free?
What shall I make of these?
My failures gathered around me
The bricks thrown at me
The love that I feel even in the midst of these
Could they have been speaking and I hadn't been listening?
Maybe!!! Just maybe!!! The light wasn't just for me to see my flaws only
maybe the bricks hadn't been for me to sleep on
Maybe the love in the midst of the other emotions wasn't to set confusion after all
There might just be hope for me
Freedom screams for me, I can hear it
And Peace awaits me
I taste something sweet this time
It is the taste of a new beginning
The new me breathing in air of peace and tranquility
These bricks shall be my stepping stone, upon them shall I climb up to freedom
This light shall expose the darkness and by its rays shall I be led to freedom
Now I see all I hadn't seen while I wallowed in misery and deceit
I can now choose to believe defeat or in what the future speaks
This is the new me
With new beliefs have I emerged
Bold and courageous I've become
I stand firm, i shall not be shaken
I believe in freedom
I am indeed free!!!!
