Inside Me Poem by Mereia Namatua

Inside Me
The sun mesmerize the waters with its glow
The bird chirrups in the trees
An eagle soars above the horizon
Oh how I long to be free

I am stuck in my own head
With nothing but darkness
I want to get out
And breathe the fresh air all around

I am chained to my mind
Shackled with its weight
Day by day I am dying slowly
Gasping for freedom

My body trembles inside me
I am locked with no key
I need to be free
So my life can at least be full of glee
