Be free

(C) Karen Peatt 2007
She falls into the darkness,
After taking a step,
Away from the light,
A step towards freedom.

From the stares and whispers,
The torment and thoughts,
That no-one cares,
There is no one there.

She is a twisted soul,
Changed in so many ways,
Sometimes she’s not sure,
She cares anymore.

She falls into the darkness
It is a welcome relief cos’
Here she is free
Just free to be.

Away from the stares
Tormentors, questoners and pityers
I can live, breathe and be me,
Be free.
