First 16th Poem

Well, here's the first of my 16th poems. Haha, as you can guess, they are all written on the 16th of each month... and well, I hope one day I run out of inspiration to write any more 16th poems. When that happens, well, it would only mean there's no more need for such a release!

My first one... I'll call it "Set Me Free"

Fevered dreams and endless nights
Silent screams and fitful plights
All conspire to subdue me

In light I run, in darkness I hide
Before I'm undone, preserve my pride
Will you just let me be?

Peaceful sleep and restful days
On reality a firm grip, my pain to defray
Is all I ask for

To move on bravely and unafraid
To not be weary and not be waylaid
To be free once more
