Free

I write to be free
I'm free because I write
I write about my story, my journey, my life
My everything so it doesn't don't fall on deaf ears
Even because there's nobody to hear

I cry to release pain
I release pain because I hurt
Inside and out, I contort with it
Try to avoid it, because I am unfit to deal with the pain
And as I think to myself, there is nothing to gain
In this life:this world, it's all empty space
Know how many times that has been thrown in my face

So I write
And I fight
And I hurt
And I avert the pain
And I keep on going
To stay free
Because without freedom, there isn't anything to gain
