FREE.

Haven’t you noticed

That I have a new outlook

A new stare

That pierces

Your wall of defence?

Haven’t you seen

That I am a little sprightly

Vivacious, unbothered

About your antics

Your fervor for attention?

Haven’t you realized

That your secrets are in the open?

That I am no longer captive

To your manipulations

Your endless push

And desire to see me

Become none other than yourself ?

I will no longer be intimidated

Cowed into silence by you

I stand with my head

Held high

Braving every storm

Every pebble thrown

Every jab aimed

By you in cahoot

With like minded slaves

Enslaving themselves

To their desire to belong

That passion to hold sway

I have been set free!
