Freedom in the midst
of upheaval.
New path between
dilapidated emotions.
Set loose upon
a time unknown
future unsure,
unsecure.
Uncertainty
pushed aside,
makes way for
experiencing,
experimenting,
enjoying.
Leave behind
the ruination
of a painful
heartbreak.
No more pain;
physical, emotional,
mental!
New Life within
the death
of an Old Life.

If it is not clear, this is about breaking free from an abusive relationship, something that is hard but satisfying; scary but exciting at the same time.
Before you jump on me for the word unsecure, , don't it is intentional as the meaning was not meant as INsecure but to be not secure as in not tethered, unknown. Call it poetic license, BROADLY stroked!!!!

I loved those lines, great poem, best of luck -
We all feel the unsureness of our future when our lives are interupted by unpleasant circumstances, especially with heartbreak. You've expressed very vividly and still grasping the uncertainity and wonderment of something new.
An excellent piece and I wish you best of luck in the contest
