dVerse: OpenLinkNight ~ Fall
i fell for all the lies in life
i fell for all your truths
i didn't know that i'd been had
from the moment of my birth
i fell from grace
but not by choice
i stood as soon as i knew
and ran so fast the other way
your reach could not pursue
i fell into a world of love
and caring others' hands
and though it may have taken years
i finally can stand
without the strings
without the cues
without the secret codes
i fell into a cloud of fate
that has gently taken hold
and led me through the fire
to a place where i am now
i fell in love with my own life
far from the one you planned
i thank my lucky stars and guides
for freeing me from you
and letting me fall into a world
where innocence is true
This is a write of personal empowerment, Maggie! It is so very important to love one's own life!
ReplyDeleteTo cut those strings and appreciate oneself... that's so important... and a world where innocence is true... couldn't be more important.
ReplyDeletevery cool rhythm to this one....and you know, no matter what you went through you survived it...and you are still surviving it...to me that is the testiment....and falling in love with your own life...now there is the thing...smiles.
