Never Completely Freed

One by one,
through the years,
I picked the locks
you chained
me
in.

Click.

I break away from
a self-image
portraying me as
Stupid.

Click.

Fat.

Click.

And Lazy.

Click.

I break away from
the belief
I am not worthy
of being
Loved.

Click.

I break away from
(somewhat)
a fear of
Intimacy
because of lines
you constantly
Crossed.

I am
still Handcuffed
by fear
of
closed
spaces


And
Failure.

By mistrust.

And by
the locked
Memories
too frightening to replay
for fear
those chains
broken
will
resurface.
