I dance
Iron chains
Lock around my heart
And my soul,
Trapping me
Within my mind
With pain.
I struggle
Every day,
Trying to break free
But so far the bars
Have held me back
But today
Is different.
I open my eyes
And I gasp for air,
I ignore the tears
And fight the pain.
Im breaking out.
Im escaping.
I sense the invisible fence
Building up around me
But it grew weak
As I grew stronger.
I run through it
Like it was nothing.
I risk a glimpse back
And I see the fence
Disintegrating.
No longer powerful
As it was too weak
To stop me.
I run to sunshine
To the beautiful rainbows,
I run far away,
Away from my thoughts.
Once Im completely safe
And underneath the sunshine,
I stop to rest
And I notice something.
The iron chains
That have held me
For far too long
Are gone.
The iron bars
That kept me trapped
Within my mind,
Are gone.
The invisible fence
That locked me inside
Holding me back,
Is gone.
Im free.
Today,
Im free.
A smile creeps
Onto my face,
And I begin
To dance.
Underneath the sun
I dance.
With the rainbows
I dance.
With the sunshine
I dance.
Cause Im free,
Im free today.

"Walk with me the diamond road, Tell me every story told, Give me something of your soul, That I can hold onto, I want to wake up to the sound of waves, Crashing on a brand new day, Keep the memory of your face, But wipe the pain away, When you're lonely (you're not alone)When you're heart aches (on Diamond Road) It's gonna take a little time, Yeah, it's gonna take a little time, When the night falls (you're not alone) When you're stumbling (on Diamond Road) it's gonna take a little time, To make it to the other side, So don't miss the diamonds along the way, Every road has led us here today, Little bird, what's troubling you, You know what you have to do, What is yours you'll never lose, And what's ahead may shine, Beneath the promise of blue skies, With broken wings we'll learn to fly, Pull yourself out of the tide, And begin the dream again" ~Sheryl Crow
