This is a powerful journey from darkness to self-liberation. It speaks of breaking the chains of fear and reclaiming inner strength.

Through pain, courage is born — and the poem celebrates that quiet, radiant moment when the soul chooses freedom over fear.

# Finally Free #

They held me close with hands unseen,
Their whispers cold, their claws unclean.
They bound my heart, they tied my will,
They taught me silence — to stay still..

I lived in fear — a whispered plea,
A captive to what haunted me.
Their voices echoed, sharp and near,
They fed my heart with doubt and fear.

But the fire was born within my chest,
A spark that would not be suppressed.
No ropes, no chains, no shadowed cry,
Could cage the soul that learns to fly.

The chains they forged began to break,
Each link is undone for my own sake.
Their claws fell back, their power died,
As courage bloomed where tears had dried.

Now I stand tall — the night is gone,
The dawn within keeps shining on.
No longer bound by what I see,
I am my truth — I’m finally free.
