Set me free..

Set me free - the heart yearns 

To infinity and beyond 

It hates its residence 

In a confined body 

Made of stale blood 

and infamous flesh 

Set me free - it cries out to me 

In my head I can hear its voiceless echos

In my melancholy I can feel its pain 

pumping involuntarily

Smothered in its own blood 

it is bleeding profusely

I hate to experience its dis-generation 

I can not sit back and watch  

Till fragments of it fall and dis-integrate 

into smithereens

I wish to unchain it 

And set it free..

Beautifully Expressed the struggle which we face within our self!! :)

[PearlPoet]

Beautifully written plea what this poem is...

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You build a climax in this verse as one reads down the lines...the helplessness in felt in the whole write...yet you want in the end to set it free...and have no power to do so...as it falls apart before you...

[Clockwork]

As I read about the heart in this piece, I thought of the soul, and how some believe that the body is a vessel for the soul to learn its next cycle of lessons in the universe. I really liked your first four lines quite a lot--they really make me stop and think about life, and all of the things that go with it...the yearning to be free, to fly home like the butterflies you have at the end of the piece.

People say we don't use the full potential of our minds, but I think we waste a lot of the hearts gifts too.
Maybe that beat is it trying to get out after all. A deeply philosophical piece of creative writing.
