Freeing

photo: here

the other night, right before i laid my head down, after all my prayers were sent out, i decided i needed to write down a few lines. i haven't written any poems in quite some time and this moment of realizing i had something that needed to be said was completely freeing...

so i took out my ipad and wrote...

my mother used to warn me

of the evils of this place

she said listen to these words

and you'll know what to face.

hold on daughter as tight as you can

hold on to the promise land

hold on to what you know

and hold on to what'll never show.

there's a great world upon us

we want to take it in one hand

do what you can to stop us

we're gonna roam this land.

these words enter my mind in darkness

yet they'll act out in the light

i'm gonna rise up from the thick fog

and i'm gonna win this fight.

the world's mine to grasp

it's just a matter of removing it's mask.

i don't often share poems on here. yet this one brought upon such a freeing feeling that i felt it needed to be shared.

thanks for reading.
