Mesmerized. Taken in slowly,
Then so fast you can’t stand it.
Room to grow but nothing doin’.
Alone, so very alone. Keeping one’s
Secrets close to home. Shame, shallow,
Around and around you go,
It’s all the same. Nothing changes
Until you get sick of it all. You can’t
Stand it anymore and you want to be free.
Outside influences aren’t worth much.
It is a personal, visceral decision.
To cut out one’s heart and throw it
Into the ocean! To separate oneself
From everything—everything that
Brings you closer. You must sever
That bond, all ties, or else you will be
Pulled right back under. It’s not a
Journey, it’s not a path. It’s a scream
In the dark of desperation. You are trapped.
You are suffocating. And you must be free.

My god that’s so powerful! Thank you so much. I will be sharing this one although you are right…its a decision that must be made by that person. Maybe this will shed some light. Thank u again for contributing to Free Write Friday. Hope to see u back next week.
It was easy for me now. Much harder for your friend. Desire is a powerful thing.
Good luck.
