So Free.

My body is curled like a ball,

As tears cling

to the growing sadness

In the room with moving walls.

 

What have I done?

Asking myself

This fatal question.

What have I now spun?

 

I'll perk my shoulders straight,

And gather

My growing strength

Knowing it's never too late.

 

I can finally see the inner light

That illuminates

My wounded soul.

Now, the walls don't feel so tight..

 

Suffocated with my own hands,

But all I have to do

Is let go,

So I can finally take my stand.

 

My message isn't too far,

Why it's projected

Through youthful eyes,

Like the savior of the north star.

 

Swimming in a sea

Of flying

Creatures,

I've never felt so free.

 

So free,

So free.

I've never felt so free.
