Freedom Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

For every consequence there's an action
for every disappointment there's a satisfaction
and like a slave did i feel trapped
and like a slave was i abused
i was a slave and i was misused
and i've learned one day would come my freedom
I escaped you and feel no regrets
tired of the pressure, lack of rest from those extended nights
i've given you my all for it was my best
it mattered to you none
took full control into my own hands
risking it all everything i lived for but it was worth it
your not worth it
i shed no tears
I found my way staying would of been useless
i showed no fears
ending all the oncoming hurt to my health due to stress
i'm not dying, i'm not crying
a new day has come and I want to breathe
i fought it out lasting the days before i was to leave
evidence pointed to you wanting me gone I held my head high i didn't lose this war ultimately i won you're just now learning of your mistakes. took you what like eight months now to realize that
couple bodies dropped the rules once implied have changed
due to your guilt you've caused on yourself
no ones to blame but you
i'm thankful that i've known you
and I now disown you
i accomplished so much and this here moment doesn't prevent what good
that is to come
everything happens for a reason
winter, spring, summer and fall
i change things up like the seasons
i made the call, i feel no guilt
the consequences of my actions gave me eternal self-satisfaction
