Free From Your Grip

I saw you
tomorrow
in the shadows 
I sense your presence.
as the  cold black cloud
came down
It's getting dark
too dark to see
 Opaque to 
my inner door. 

I thought I could live in your world,
yet morality
within me 
began to die

For your world I see,
is  a heavy-weight,
Pressing down, sealing my fate.
Through winding paths,
I now make my way,
Yearning for the break of day.

So Don't reign
your thoughts 
on me
I do not need you
anymore

I follow 
my own creed 
your battle
is your battle
not 
my war
I have no fight
in this
I will not even 
your score

Today I am released from the shadows
of manipulation's grip, I stand tall,
Breaking free from the chains of deceit,
I rise above it all.
Through the winding tunnel of escape, I make my way,
Emerging into the light of freedom,
 where I finally stay
