Free Me Poem by Alison Smith

She sees him around every corner
She feels his breath on her neck
She wakes knowing he has been there
Even though he doesn't exist.

Her life is controlled by others
There is no room for her own thought
The path of her existence has been owned
By others not her.

Every time she fights she is beaten
Made to believe this is wrong
Until finally she has given in
And left her free will at the door.

Within her mind she screams out
The fibre of her being wants to be free
But only inside her head
Is she the individual that is free.
