go man, go

it's not unusual for
those trapped to not want
to leave
their jailer,
their guards.
the prisoners of war,
scared to exit
the horrors of the camp
when
liberated,
the beaten wife, abused,
bruised by
the husband, and him
too, lied to
and duped for so long,
thoroughly used, betrayed.
but unable to say enough,
to walk out, to set
himself free when
no longer chained.
it's not unusual
for many to stay put
in their state of misery,
but once in a while,
a light goes on
and you do climb that fence,
tunnel under the wall,
you snip the wires and go,
You go man go.
