Fears

Just a poem about fears, captivity, and freedom..oh, and my favorite: love. :) Enjoy!

 

 

Darkness surrounds me

Depression takes hold

Chains hold me captive

The air is so cold.

 

 

Fear settles in

I try to get free

No light in this darkness

I wish I could see.

 

 

A lock clicks lightly

My heart jumps in my throat

A door opens softly

They're coming to gloat.

 

 

The soft sound of footsteps

Reaches my ears

The flare of a match

Lighting my fears.

 

 

But the face that I see

Is not the one I expected

It looks on mine with

Love I thought I'd rejected.

 

 

A hand reaches out

And unlocks my chains

I'm finally free

To love again.

It has a great sentiment that offers hope to others in despair. Liberation is enabled through unexpected faces.
