AND i THoUGHT

living my life
as i have always lived,
i almost thought
that i have been freed.

- freed from the sorrows
that kept me in the dark,
tore my soul
- bound my heart.

i am now freed
- i thought,
from the frightening depths
in which i have been caught.

i sought release
from the dreary night
i sought the sun
that would return my sight.

i thought that i have cleared
the deep crevices of my mind
from the dark shadows that reigned.
but still, I am resigned.

i resigned myself to the fact
that i would always be bound
to this depth i have never known
- this love that is so profound.

before i sought freedom,
but i now know
that i do not seek release
- Anymore.

i desired to gain release
and the freedom i thought i attained.
but what is its purpose now?
my lost sight is now regained.

so i thought i am now free
and indeed, i thought right.
i am truly freed
- from a miserable life.
