Poem Artwork







Good bye love..
I have been robbed blind..
Good bye dreams..
They have been drowned..
By life.
This world is not kind..
on this doorstep..
where I slept
lost my step..
Because if you don't
sell your soul
If you rebel..
you must pay the toll..
Happiness I cannot bring..
Songs of joy I cannot sing..
For even freedom
has broken wings
My life is destruction
that is all..
She who climbs to high
eventually falls..
Speaking out load
is forsaken..
my secrets
would be stolen.
Thoughts of ever
escaping taken....
Freedom...
A meaningless word
when all is said and done..
Just a dream I have..
To help me carry on..
but my strength
has become so frail..
I wave this white flag..
and surrender..
to betrayal.

ERICA
