Trying to free my mind yet still wishing it would collide with my body and soul
I'm standing up on top this world looking out
Wondering what's it all about
I'm trying to get away from it all,
Yet I struggle with the desire to be a part of it all
Wanting to climb higher as high as I can go
To a place where no one knows
But why?
Why is my desire to go higher
And farther away
Yet I want to stay?
My mind is a twister
Spinning out of control
Trying to hold on
But I am blowing away in this storm
Being torn down at every turn
No place to run
Where is my knight
To bring me to the light?
I don't need a hero
But it would be nice
Right?
Take me away to place I long to be
The place that will set me free
Before we go
Help me love this pace I know
When I return don't want to get burned by what was left behind
Help me dry my eyes
Help me succeed
Be who God needs me to be
I can only imagine that person is free
Free to walk the earth in her bare feet
Free to speak when her mind at any time
Free to climb
High
"Take me away to a place I long to be". Left out alittle something there kiddo. Nice writing, and its not unusal to want to go higher in life, to want, to desire and dream. We all do it and we take steps to make things happen and pray. You know all this sweetheart. Great work xo
ReplyDeleteVery well done. Watch your typos and missed words. Otherwise I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteVery good poem.The imagery is powerful yet simple. There is a lot of passion and emotion displayed by your word choice. Also you do some nice tricks with assonanace and internal rhyme. You need to slow down and proof read; there are missing words, and typos.Words are your tools respect them.
