I am Free…..Finally
A Poem by Monika Ribeiro
My past is a story of a tortured soul
Trapped in a jail with invisible doors
No way out and no way in…
Complete unawareness of being within
…In the heart of the greatest lie…
I was the most faithful friend of my greatest enemy
I was the lost coin…
Looking for ways to be destroyed
Locked away… Locked in…
Believing religiously that I held the key
Surrounded by darkness from inside of me
I was a vampire, not even a leech …
so convinced I lived… convinced I was free
Chasing after shadows and fighting them winds
I just kept running around, like a chicken – beheaded one
Just running in circles, running in the darkness
Flipping my crippled wings in my utter madness
Admiring the image of my ugliness
Tripping against each stone on my way
In the dirtiest soil, I kept washing my face
Not knowing why, I kept running away!
Away from the world!
Away from myself!
Away from my fate!
Running after freedom! Getting more in-caged!
I tried! …To break away from the spell of his darkness!
But was overwhelmed by fear and tangible sadness…
…After I experienced all deaths that were mine
He surrounded me with a silent shout, singing:
Girl, for you my body has been drained of blood.
How many more times will I pass you by?
How many more crimes will you bring to life?
Recognize me – I am He… Acknowledge me now…
Say you will not die again… Just Cross to the other side…
My past is a story of a tortured soul
Trapped in a jail with invisible doors…
My past is a story of a tortured soul
Trapped in a jail with invisible doors…
