Freedom from prison pit

Freedom from prison pit
prison of my own making
when it was made it was needed
but now it like a deep pit within the ground
it seem like we are trapped
that it dark within this prison
others see us as joyful and brave
but I see self as lost and forgotten
the prison is deep
I can not crawl or climb out of it
the prison has became a place od isolation
no one see this prison
no one know the deepness of the prison
hoping others will help me out of the prison
the wounds are deep is why I here within the prison
truth is like a burning flame that hurts us
the prison pit is were I was kelp
locked in a pit was what they wanted
but they no longer there
they can not hurt me any longer
but now the prison is due to me
as to trust is to take the rope to get out
as one can not get out alone
due to the pits to deep
someone throw me a rope
give me away out of this prison pit
we made it but , they used it to keep control over me
so they could hurt me more and more
but now I am the prison keeper
so I can be set free but only if I take the rope
the rope that others hold
the rope of freedom from my prison
but will I be brave and take the rope
or will I stay within this prison pit
darkness does not have to be anymore
can be lifted out of the pit into the light
this light is true freedom
it will set me free from them who hurt me
it will take back control of my life
but only I can do that
by taking the rope offered to me
so question is will I take the rope
or stay within the prison pit
think the rope is better then stay in the prison pit
but the rope mean trusting others
giving in to what I feel
not numbing and using bad harmful ways to numb
so lets try this new way this freedom

@stormieandpaws The imagery of the "prison pit" and the struggle to reach for the rope is so relatable. It’s powerful how it shows the conflict between staying in the comfort of pain and trusting others to help us out (or trusting our strength to get ourselves out ). I love how it captures that mix of fear and hope—really human and real. Beautifully done.
