Freedom

I want to cry

To give in to my urges

To scream, kick, kiss, and eat

 

I want to hear my voice

Echo through the walls my singular reality

Shattering my illusions

 

I want to punch the earth

With the ferocity of a thousand simultaneous lightning storms

Turning the night into the day

 

I want to push him up against the wall

No thoughts

No objections

Just us

And the spark of what could be

 

I want to eat my way through a meal

Without fears of what I’ll gain

Of what I’ll have to feel guilty about

Later

 

I want to say

Yes

To let the dam break inside me

To let the monster roar

To hear the gasps of those around me

And think

“I’m free”
