More Longingly Since...

I am a feeling ... one emotion trapped and confined,
By walls huge, strong and well defined...
The reason of the imprisonment is unknown to me,
Either I hurt someone, or am dangerous when free...
Or then again it could be the past and history of others,
Who were brave enough to let me wonder...
And in my prison I awaited for the day when I
Am finally set free to see the world with my eyes...
For many have known to have failed sadly,
The strong, the wise, the foolish, the saintly,
To keep me hidden in towers self made,
Or bind me in chains or kill me with a blade...
But victory is mine for I am a feeling,
One emotion so strong, so appealing...
And known to have won so many battles with the Masters,
I did not think much of the walls or their Creator...
And, much as I expected I saw the leak,
One tiny crack is all that I seek!
I rushed out to take my place in the world,
I looked with my eyes but my vision blurred,
As a stronger Will pushed me back in,
And I have awaited my freedom more longingly since...
