Wrote this a while back when a sudden burst of inspiration hit me.
Freedom Arise

I am weary, aged beyond my years.
Pleasures of youth, repressed by my fears.

I must start doing, instead of just trying.
I must begin living, instead of just dying.

Where is the path away from this lonely place?
How can I find the strength to wear my true face?

Oh how I have longed to truly be!
Finally alive, finally free!

The time has come to cast away my chains.
Fire, passion returning, coursing through my veins.

When you gaze into my eyes, what now do you perceive?
Look deeply, open your heart, only then will you see.

If you see my truth, it is for us alone.
It is the truth my soul has longed to have known.

This truth illuminates the path, was the key to my prison.
Triumphant! I walk with hope anew. Freedom has arisen.
