Reflections of a Boomer

Free Me from This Hell

by David Palethorpe

Look at me

“LOOK AT ME”

I don’t look ill

I know that’s true

But I’m crying out

Calling out to you 

Please hear my voice

Please hear my plea

Take these chains away

Chains that bind me

In this hell

Chains that bind me

In this cell

Of quiet despair

Please take the locks 

From around my heart

And set me free

I’ll do no harm

Set me free

To come back

Back into your arms
