Freedom

Coaxed into silence
Words taken from time
It’s time to bring them back now
To retrieve what is mine

Words unspoken
Lying dormant in the depth
The door now open
Reveal of what I was bereft 

A longing so deep
It nearly bursts my soul
Unsung melodies
Of how united we may fall

Breaking free of the coercion
Of all the lies and spells
I learn how to decipher
The truth one tells

Deep they run
These wounded paths
Ever spiralling 
Through layers and shafts

Chambers securely sealed
Finally burst
Out into the open
No longer cursed
