I am not tethered Not yet Not ever I exist exclusively outside your gaze I belong to myself now You will not keep me here, In fear and in folly And I, I will not stay Though I am weary of what awaits me No! Let me rise, now The strength of my atonement and courage Will protect me As I wonder into a page without your expectations of failure. Yes! I choose to be free.

I have chosen sobriety for nearly six weeks. This is an ode to myself and everything I am becoming.
