Vicki Adams...

As for info about me... I'm 22 and I'm part of the Wandsworth Boiler Room team. Favorite movie at the moment has to be Narnia, and music wise I will listen to anything from the Carpenters to Blink 182. At the moment I'm listening to the greatest hits of Ocean Colour scene... but as long as it doesn't involve hip hop I will listen to anything.

My hobbies are stuff like art and photography, reading... erm, I think that’s it.

Living Free

by Vicki Adams

From early years I knew your name
Imaginary, yet again
Once here, then not, But always near
You lingered close and drip-fed fear.

Alluring still, but this must end
This choking yoke, my faithful friend
Dressed in defeat I’ve played your game
A covenant of guilt and shame.

Unwritten rules, unspoken vows,
A thousand ‘looking inward’ hours,
A contract made that stayed intact
To twist my arm and break my back.

You’ve held my hands, I was disguised,
I saw the world through victim’s eyes,
But I’m emerging from this cloud
From underneath self’s stifling shroud.

So I’m renouncing, breaking through,
I’m pulling off the fruit we grew,
I break my promise, end the plans
That aim to keep me in your hands.

I was not made to walk in shame,
Burdened down and paired with pain,
I’m not synonymous with you
And all these lies I’ve lived as truth.

My pledged allegiance breaks today
I separate and step away
A child of light, I’m living free
And walking into destiny.

With head held high, I’m standing tall
Into my Saviour’s arms I fall
And hand in hand with Him I find
His power love and peace of mind.
