Breaking Free

I hear your words,

they pierce my mind,

they spiral me into the herds.


The herds of currents in my being,

those that I have spent not seeing.

The waves of anger I've suppressed,

all to wear a pretty dress.


All so you could say I'm fine,

all so you could say I'm fine.


But I am not that...

...I am not fine...

I've spent my life trying to hide.


Hide from that which lies within,

hide from that which cries from sin,

thinking I was not allowed,

all so I'd fit with the crowd.


I am done not feeling,

I am done not seeing,

I am done neglecting voices of my inner being.


Done with being oh so proper,

time to shine and time to prosper.

A no is no,

a yes is yes,

I'm done with rigid games of chess.


A show to glow,

and find my voice,

and finally see I have choice.


Choice to feel, choice to think,

choice to question why we sink.

Sink into the stories told,

by those who us want to control.


But I am done with silence now,

feel my force and hear me growl.


So, when I hear your words again,

they can no longer bring me pain.

My mind is clear, heart open wide,

I spiral out and breathe with stride.

Chains

In chains we go in chains unknown pains we try to outgrow. But how are we to grow? When we refuse to point that finger at ourselves.

Purpose

What was that thing you did, as child with playful ease? It might just be your key to that which sets you free. To that which brings you...
