You left the gate open

what was I to do

I huddled in a corner and pretended not to see

But the “ conditioning” hadn’t taken…..it did not have control of me

so I gathered every ounce of strength that was left inside of me …..and made a declaration

“I will not squander this opportunity”

–

this act of defiance was not at others, but myself

I allowed them to play their roles….until it was painful to accept and see ….. others were directing my life and I was playing the parts that were assigned to me

but the spirit yet lived though its light was growing dim

but I took the chance you afforded me when you made a fatal mistake…… you were careless with the gate …… you never bothered to check the lock

now I’m free once again and you can be in prison by yourself

you left….. the gate open
