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.
