When Will I Break Free (7/12/23)-Poem

When Will I Break Free.

There are days I long for solitude, a space to call my own,

To retreat from the world's demands, to find myself alone.

But shackled by responsibilities I cannot break free,

Bound by commitments, promises, and obligations that define me.

In the quiet of the night, I yearn for a moment of peace,

To release the weight of burden, to let my worries cease.

Yet duty calls from incessant cell phone's annoying melody,

Entwined within the web of work life, when will my spirit be free?

But I hv pledged my word, with honor I must stand,

But in the depths of my weary soul, I crave a gentle hand.

A respite from the ceaseless tides, a chance to breathe and soar,

To cast off the chains that bind me tight, & seek a tranquil shore.

Amidst the clamor of the world, I search for a fleeting chance,

To liberate my weary heart, to part from circumstance.

But as I bear these heavy loads, a glimmer lights the way,

A hope that one day I'll break free, to find my own new day.

So I'll carry on with steadfast resolve, through the trials that I face,

Knowing that within my heart, I hold a sacred space.

Though bound by allegiance and duty's stern decree,

I'll dream of the day when I am truly finally free.
