THE BREAKOUT


TBE BREAKOUT

Down the garden
Slope
I strode...
I had a
Purpose
In mind
A task to
Do!

Birds chirped
Many merry
A song
While butterflies 
Flitted along
From flower
To flower...

I walked on.. 

Once I reached
Where I
Was headed,
I paused
In thought-

Do I truly
Want to
Do this
Or not?

I turned my
Head 
Glancing back
From where
Came.. 

It stood
An imposing 
Presence
Of
Impregnable 
Stone
I'd just broken
Free from!

Oh
I was doing 
This...
 
I resolved!

Opening the 
Gate
In my 
Unassuming.
Guises

I made
For freedom
Not ever 
Again 
To be 
Held inside.

I took flight!
