Kick me about why don’t you,1
I don’t hit back.2
You shove me,3
I cry.4
But when you say you love me,5
That’s when I hit you.6
You lie to me,7
You cheat on me.8
Is there anything that you don’t do to me?9
Like a dove sings to the wind,10
I cry to the river.11
Like a rabbit that trembles when cornered,12
I quake when you are near.13
I sometimes think of running free,14
The wind does, why cant I?15
The leaves play in autumn as children do in spring,16
Why is it that I am left alone and locked away?17
Throw away the key you do,18
Keep me locked deep in your mind.19
Use me, abuse me, but never say you love me,20
For I will turn the tables.21
Finally after a drunken night of abuse,22
You collapse asleep at my feet.23
I shiver with cold for my clothes are in your hand,24
But this is it, time to spread my wings and soar with the wind.25
I am free, the wind is singing.26
It feels my burden has been lifted and sings a song of life.27
I smile with the thought of you left with nothing,28
You have no one now and are locked in a vortex of loneliness.29
I pity you.30
I am strong, you are weak.31
Left in darkness, I emerge into the light that has so long been sheltered from me.32
The light is my friend, just as the wind is, 33
Now I am safe and free to be…34
Me.

The picture added a real sense of emotion and drama to this piece. I think it was well crafted and very beautifully written. Your words were lovely and pieced together so fantastically. Well done. Thank you again for reading my prologue.
