I have shed my clothes of bureaucracy
those which had stained my skin
i am no longer tainted to my core
i am free now to be born again.

I am no longer the vehicle to transport from left to right
shuffling papers, seeing only dawn then night.
No longer do i watch the clock,tock tick, tick tock
or lie to be listened to, or to listen to a lie.

Today is the day i burst into life to breathe hard and deep
for a moment i hold that breath and listen to my heart beat
like a drum it beats, but now i will dance to the beat of my own tune
i will follow only the passion that stems from my soul.

I will just be.
