Finding Freedom

This was originally written about someone I knew, the story is somewhat embellished but the overall feeling is certainly valid and is a sort of warning, to myself and everyone else too, about being careful where you put your energies.




Finding Freedom - 12 Jul 03

You have the power
I do not have the strength
To draw you away from me
I cannot spell
My incantations
Will not work
And you draw me
Into your web
To ensnare me
In the darkness
Of your time

When I awoke
I realised
That you did not really
Have the strength
Or the power
To hold me
So
I played
Taking your strength
Taking your power
To me

And then
I woke
And you have no power
Over me
I can create the spell
I sing the incantations
That will allow me
To be free
Of your web
And your darkness is no more




Never wanting to make that kind of connection ever again.
