I will not be subdued. Cages don't suit me. I have to be free. Fly run sing dance in the open fields, swim in the river with the fish and water snakes. My soul can't be taken without my permission. The access is denied. My heart isn't yours to mock and ****. I will rise like the phoenix from the ashes and sail on against the azure sky, free and untethered. Resurrected I'm back from the dead.
