Slave? By Glenn Currier I had forgotten him until he appeared in a dream - he so qualified me so average - and I awakened barely recalling him but the shame attacked me with a fury and has not loosened its grip even in the late afternoon. And I thought I became a different person after twenty years, even in the last five years. Am I still shackled to that old self with scars like ex-slaves carried from the chains and whips? It seems people fade but feelings rarely do.

I was once afraid By doing all i want By showing my emotions And expressing my feelings. I was a weak woman That has a fragile heart I was afraid to feel the hurt From the ****** knife of rejection But then one day I became tired Of being scared While doing nothing. I discovered something Inside of me I heard the voice From my better version. I decided to change my mind and heart I chose happiness Than a life of regrets I buried my old self And my own pain I finally found the love That is brighter than my fears.
