Like a captured animal,

Trapped in a container.

Just like my mind, 

Trapped in me.

Never found the chance,

To explore my expressions,

Thoughts and feelings.

Negativity comforts me,

Hope for positive.

To free my mind, but

My soul was like broken glass,

I guess you can’t unbreak what’s already broken.

To heal and find courage, 

To find peace.

But yet,

Never got the chance to free my mind.

Depression became my only friend,

Even the pills they suggested never worked.

But they deceived my mind,

And to be trapped in a fairy-tale.

Can you help me free my mind?

From the misery and pain I had.

I prayed for better days but

I feel like under the spell of dark clouds.

When will be the storm over?

Oh heavens… 

Let your holy spirit fall upon me,

To free my mind.

After darkness rises,

To lightness fall upon us.

Sometimes, 

I really hope poetry will free me from prison, 

I call my mind.

But if poetry does not.

Can you free my mind?

From the depression and anxiety.

Can I survive this?

But the enthusiasm in my soul,

Hopefully, we free my mind from the darkness.
