15 Year Sentence My Fight For Freedom

15 years I have been a prisoner I was the victim of identity theft Who I was, that person was stolen, And it was I who had to do the time Despite not being the culprit of the crime Half my life was taken away from me and i couldn't do anything about it apart from spending my every waking moment every ounce of energy all of my will and brain power saying every prayer to anyone upstairs trying hoping crying fighting for freedom Then the day came freedom was on the horizon My shackles were removed the doors were finally open My exoneration had been granted I was a free women My fight for freedom had finally been won The golden gates to life were unlocked lifted they had been opened My eyes thought it a mirage of lies, My brain believed it bate being dangled for me to bite Another humans cruel joke a sick sense of humour My heart heaving believing it false nothing but lies Yet it yearned to believe it was truly true My hope had been broke so many times before it couldn't cope with it even once more I couldn't believe it was all finally finished Over done fineto The fight was over and I was the Victor Victorious yet I still felt like a prisoner The doors opened yet I was stuck stationary Everything I had spent 15 years fighting for Was just over the threshold of that door It was easily within my grasp but it wasn't that easy I couldn't just step through to freedom Although the pain from my chronic illness had stabilized More damage had been done than anyone had realised My mind was a mindbogglingly mental mess that I was left to address This was something I hadn't even considered or even processed So I then had to acknowledge my freedom fight wasn't over yet A new battle has now begun an invisible fight against my own mental state A mind set born from 15 years of imprisonment, addiction anguish and pain it isn't a positive thought process that Ive been left with and have now gained I think it's safe to say many more battles to fight in this war are up ahead, Me against I my against me and that Is what I truly fear and dread the enemies are inside my own head.
