I want to be free.
I want to be free.
I want to be free.

I keep wishing for the same thing.
I keep wanting the same thing.
I'm reaching for it.
Racing after it.

I NEED IT!
What will it take to be free?

I am time's captive.
Held prisoner and unable to escape.
So I drop to my knees and pray the same prayer.
"GOD set me FREE, please."

And I wait......

The author's comments:
I've been through foster care, group homes, treatment centers, safe places, and bounced around the family for years and feel like I can't get out because time is not on my side.

I meant, 'GOD bless and protect you...' sorry about the misspelling.

This is good, it shows emotion, it shows your thoughts, and does a good job at it.  Good job, Krystal, and may GOD blass and protect you through your life!
