My Release

Poetry is my passion,
it is my release from these shackles.
It frees me from the chains
and the everyday restraints.
Of the complications that reel in my brain,
when I write,I'm no longer bound
no longer tied down,strapped to the ground.
When my pen touches paper,
is when I believe in something greater.
When I can soar high,
and imaginations take flight.
Like a glimmer of light
shown down from the sky.
On the darkest of nights
illuminating my path
showing me the way
and the errors of my days.
Has I become one,
with the earth the moon and the sun.
Its when tomorrows are begun
and yesterdays are rerun,
its where my mistakes can be burned,
and my lessons are learned.
Its how I can express my feelings,
its where I go when I have trouble dealing,
with the trials and tribulations
of life's nuances and complications.
It helps me become free
and it helps me just be me.
