I want to be free

in the dark I lay
silent as a muffled scream
the world is quiet

silence shouts loudly
I turn on white noise
and play the music
i can still hear the silence

out of my window is sound
out of my window is life
out of my window is the quiet sound
out of my window is free

the window is me
closed and open but never a part
I hear the silence growing
I hear the noise moaning
I see the darkness showing
showing me the way out

I'm out of my mind



I




know





I





am





not





crazy





just





me






leave





me





alone





I




want






peace





sound to drown in





darkness to see in





pain to sense





depression to feel





death to live in





I want to be free
I was feeling a bit crazy that night.

Do I love you for your hair
Do I love you for your smile
Do I love you for your care
Do I love you for your style
Do I love you for your eyes
Do I love you for your thighs
I love you for you
and all of the above too
Love is a tricky thing

Rhyming, chiming
Falling from the sky like diamonds
As comets fall like starlight

Bright blue, bright white
Filling with feelings of delight
As I explore a strange new world

swirled, twirled
set about in an infinite furl
As the darkness starts swirling  

Uncurling, Unfurling
As the world sets before me whirling
I find at last the light

— The End —
