I know it's easier to say than do, but I hope this tortured
woman will kick the door (or whatever is in the way), walk out
and never look back. Damn well written, Chessly. -gene.

Chessly this is a very compelling poem. Disturbing and yet hopeful of liberty. Wonderful work.

Chessly, this is a very serious issue that you write about. In so many ways any woman who has felt trapped in a relationship, marraige, situation can feel your words touch the very core of her soul. There are so many in this situation..I pray for them and thank you for touching on a very delicate subject matter with class and sensitivity.

Well done!

Peace, love and light my sweet dear,
Amber

Climb

I would pack up my life,
hit the trail of dust,
no borders would I see,
mountains not an obstacle,
but stone of steps to lead,
this shackled heart that paid the price,
to be unlocked and finally set free

this piece takes me to the lovely ladies behind
the Islamic Religions and the hijab & kaftan tunics
or any other woman behind metaphoric veils. No one
should ever remain where they do not want to be...period.
Your words reveal this with depths (to me) & I hope all
women will always stand up for what they want & deserve.
It's never a bad time to dump a bad situation...

We all get that fenced in feeling at times, i got it now, with this ice and snowy weather and being bound in the house for days on end.

This makes perfect sense if 'sense' is the right word when it comes to strong emotion, but you know what i mean.
The urge to break free is more than a want or a need, it's a demand the soul makes.
This is fine thinking and feeling and writing, Chessly.
