Gone From Pain

My eyes squint tight against the glow
Of freedom newly found
Shackles broken and cast away
To lay forever on the ground
This cage holds nothing, the bars are bent
Chains rest on the dusty floor
For they will never hold me again
I don't believe in them anymore

I pick up speed as the past fades away
My future is rushing on
I run towards it, faster still
Away from all that was wrong
Like a wide open canvas laid out before me
Blank and innocent of ink
I move onward to the future ahead
Gone from the pain in a blink
