Emancipation
of the Soul
Insurmountable
walls built with fear master me.
I was alone within
the confines of my mind,
Desperately seeking
the way out.
Helplessly, I
watched all the demons within me come to life.
I attracted all
the things I needed to sustain the world I built,
Always looking,
but never finding the one who could set me free.
I watched as the
walls became flames and encircled me.
Time only helped
the fire to grow hotter and stronger.
My own destruction
was inevitable,
I had willed it.
A small voice
within wanted to know,
“Can I will it
to stop,”
“Do I have the
strength,”
“Do I even want
to with everything around me in ruins?”
The voice answered,
screaming, YES!
In a moment, I
realized only I have the power to put out the flames.
The key that opens
the door to the prison I built lies within me.
From ashes and
debris of broken dreams I rose,
Accepting all
that had ever happened to me.
With everything
around me in ruins, I feel like I have more now than ever before.
For the first
time I believe in myself.
My fear has diminished.
There is nothing
left of the world that held me captive for so many years.
Alone, with nothing
more than belief in myself, I will build more than I’ve ever had.
Now I am free
to give myself all that I need.
