From here within me
A new song rings
To me
Joy and new life it brings
Through these eyes
From which tears have run dry
I see there’s still a possibility to fly
I’ll spread my wings
And tie those of time
Get lost in euphoria
Of that which is mine
Set forth emotions I may find
Within my broken spirit’s mine
Now, I am free to let you go
Break free from yesterday’s shadow
No graces, no airs, no encores
I’ll pack my bag
And get on my track
In search of my tomorrow

I always like the theme of Liberation. In this particular poem I felt the Persona's almost-excitement in breaking free. And while the Persona still thinks of their pain and heartache, they do not dwell or grovel in it. It could have been less masterfully dealt with, I think. For that, I consider this a great, great liberation poem. I know it spoke to me.
@ NY, true, I've also found liberation a particularly beautiful theme; there's so much to say and so many different ways to say it.
Guess its probably because hope - which begets and/or is begotten of liberation - is the thing that keeps us going. Glad you liked it, thank you!
