Freedom is Only A Mile Away

Caught in a whirlwind
of destruction,
She will never admit defeate.

For lies have foretold
her story.

Paying the price for playing
the Devil's advocate.

A modern day sleeping beauty
for in this twisted fairytail
She will never be free
As long as her eyes are
closed.

Author notes

--Freedom is only a mile away, all you have to do is reach for it.--

I hope this is abstract, i dont really know if this is or not being as i have never written abstract before.
But i tried for what its worth.

    Sorry, you must enter a poem that has won a silver trphy. Maybe you can enter a different one. Nice poem though. Patty

    I liked it. It completely overshadowed my original thought. At first, I thought..."Oh another dark poem. So many, so many." But upon finishing it, I had a shit-eating grin. "She will never be free as long as her eyes are closed." is a powerful finish to a good write.

      Haha
      Big grin

      I meant for the ending to be a bit of twist.
      Thank you for noticing it though.
