well you can see with your eyes that I still have survived all your dirty little lies
and if you look close dear it quickly will become clear that I haven't any fear
I'm not gonna' live in your world no more I'll not be your carpet to walk on the floor I'll not look back as I head out the door for I am a free man
just because you have all the money in the world is no reason for me staying still look mighty good like you knew you would and that's all that I'll be saying
just because you have everything your way I'll not be around for another day I've sunken far enough into this decay now I am a free man
when you neutered me just because you could well, it knocked me for a loop and just because I hung around with my head in the ground ever deep into your soup
I'm leaving this life of being your mop I'll get off now, I think it's my stop I'm sure that I'll find my way to the top just because I'm a free man

About this poem:
a little fiction to fill the category. I'm hard and fast forever in love with my dear wife, Lyn....! we met on this site and this coming october 6 we'll have been married three years. it's a trip man! I love her so.....
"Just because I'm a free man" I know too well not too many who are in this situation can get out of it easily. I've seen one and I know at times it's a matter of life and death. But I hope those in the situation you described here come across your poem...it could give them hope; it could shine some light. Denial has taken away their eyes so they can't see. Fear has taken away their strength so they can't move. Indecision has take away their will to even try. Thank you I sure can appreciate the sentiments you explored in this piece.
Hi, hedistuff, It's great to read your entertaining, liberating poem and know that it is fiction; because, that means true love is alive and well in WVA. Welcome back to Poet's Corner!
