For long I had longed for freedom
Now the time has come;
To break free from the shackles who bind me to explore!
Its time that I be a free bird.
Time to spread my wings.
No longer am I the diffident person you once knew;
My knew life beckons me ut old ways run deep;have me in their grips.
But I know for sure it is evanescent.
My life wont exacerbate for the worst has passed.
You made my life a living hell,it has been odious since.
But now the time has come and I will be a free flying bird!
I am a free spirit,not to be caged!

This a great poem that talks about wanting to be yourself and to well "be free" :D I love these kinds of poems, and I love yours! One think that really stood out to me was that you addressed the shackles that bound you as a "who" and that as a "that". That really adds emphasis and structure to your poem. Great job and keep it up!

When it seems like there&rsquo;s no one left to run to in this empty world you can come to me I&rsquo;ll be your shooting star. You can tell me your dreams I can&rsquo;t promise to make them come true, but I&rsquo;ll be there to pick up the pieces of your broken heart if your dreams happen to fall through&hellip;Unknown
