Will you not be free?

My face is peeled off

the sting of exposed flesh

wrings pain through

my life

the whispers of insecurity plague every moment

he has called me

work horse, provider, authority, in charge

and I have accepted responsibility.

The weight of it all  hits my worn and tired body

like a cheap shot it stuns.

defeated, I attempt a step forward

but there is nothing left.

I turn to the ones I love

I scream for help

but help never comes because I have taken the controls.

trembling I fall, I fail.

Will you not be free?
