Freedom Poem by Zawadi Awich

I sought desperately to be free,
Away from the hold you have on me,
The power to make me weak,
To tremble to a peak.

So i ran away, far away,
Where i thought the distance would break,
Free i was for a while,
Till, in my dreams i saw you smile

From then i awoke,
Each day restless dissatisfied,
My only thought you,
Memories forever flooding over my being

I hoped it would not last,
your face in my head would pass,
Till the day i heard your voice,
And knew free i would never be
