Escaping My Bars, I'M Free! Poem by erin guzman

Bars in front of me
I cannot escape
No longer do I feel so loved
I feel so filled with hate
My dreams and desires
All crashed and burned
The bars shouldn't be
I'm just a little hurt
Emotionally confused
Always so depressed
I know I've been thinking wrong
My life's just been a mess
Wounded not only in the heart
But stripped throughout my soul
My hearts not filled
What a big massive hole
I'm holding my head down
When it should be looking upward
I have to put the past behind me
And continue looking forward
People's words keep taunting me
And keep denting my precious heart
But time to let that go
Time for a fresh new start
It's that time to change my life
I have to make a choice
But it won't get me anywhere
If it doesn't have a voice
I'm stressing myself out
Because I'm only afraid of failure
But who's to judge my life
I AM my own creator
I want to get out
I want to be free
No longer the self depression
And all the anger built up in me
I got to face this life
And make myself seem as If I exist
I got to catch up
From the life I know I missed
I got to destroy the bars
And direct them in a U-TURN
And realize, that all of my past
Were only lessons learned?
And all the bars that stopped me,
All dreams where I walked alone
Have come to their ends
Time to move on, now I know
I destroyed them
One by one
To many in front
But now I've won
Smiles on my face
Big dreams far ahead
I turned my life around
Time to make amends
I built the bars
Cause I was scared
I didn't know
My heart was un-prepared
I saw my dreams
In plain views sight
But I had to think again
Cause none of it seemed right
It's not just through my eyes
That I had to see
But in my heart,
My vision would lead
It was my sight
That I kept seeing
But from looking straight at my vision
It made me start believing
Big dreams far ahead
I know who I'm going to be
Faith hope & Love
Is all I've ever need
I found myself
I found the strong me
No longer the bars…
I'M FREE!
