Finally Free Poem by Billy Loving

From this wretched place, finally free
It's confines no longer will torture me
So long filled with rage
Trapped within this hated cage
Inside, so many years
Overwhelmed, my eyes stream with tears
Such happiness, I've never found
Awestruck, unable to make a sound
Just standing still, feeling so free
Never understanding how this moment would be
Into this life, my first sojourn
For this place, I'll never yearn
As I stare into the setting sun
The next chapter just begun
Much time to erase
A contented grin stretches across my face
In the car, I depart
Mind racing, not knowing where to start
