I tried to be free

I tried to run. I tried to be free,
And get back to someone that was like the old me.

I was determined. I excelled.
Felt I could take on the world, to break from this hell.

But three days have passed, and I’m ready to tap out.
Shocks down my spine; it screams so bad I could shout.

I’m clawing at walls, a distraction from the pain.
Not sure if I have it within me to work through this again.

‘Practice makes perfect’ and ‘you get what you deserve’,
doesn’t seem applicable for the little my hard work has earned.

I tried to do something. I wanted to be free.
But now I’m just a bloodshot and broken, deflated version of me.
