Fontessa: Oh, God, I want to be free, I must be free,

Monday, October 27, 2025

To break the harness of this earthly chain.

This life, a frantic test endured by me,

A cruel experiment of endless pain.

The weight of heavy air, the endless fray,

The constant pressure that denies release;

I pray to reach the end of this dark day,

And find the shelter where the sorrows cease.

I yearn to make my passage back to You,

To finally hear the solemn word, "Well done."

I need my name inscribed, forever true,

When through the veil, the final sprint is run.

For here, the earth refused to call me kin,

My heart was alien, my steps astray.

I found no welcome where light should begin,

Just shadows gathering at the close of day.

I was rejected by the dust below,

A stranger walking on a foreign shore.

But when I hit the sky, and watch it glow,

Will Heaven’s door be opened, and ask no more?

Oh, God, when I appear before Your throne,

Will Your forgiveness wash the fear away?

Will I be welcomed to the blessed known,

And find my acceptance in that perfect day?

Will You still claim the child they cast aside?

Will You still be my Father and my Friend?

My anchor in the overwhelming tide,

Whose love and mercy never find an end.
