Spirited

I wanted you to love me,  
And the best I tried to be,  
Yet even though I tried,  
Your whips still stung me,  
In the end I gave up trying to love,  
But rather to be free.

Now I smile down on you,   
For now I am free,  
I am nowhere your eye can see  
It was your abuse that set me free,  
You never won,  
Even though you thought you had,  
I am no longer under that tree.  
I am galloping the green meadows,  
Freedom
