Freedom

The screams bounce off the wall,
in unison with the fears that weight us down,
cutting like glass they fall as fragments
upon the shoulders of those, that carried us forth

How time now creates this illusion,
of disconnect
waiting,
for every little thought
to drop
into the ocean
that awaits
that soothes us with it's gentle swell,
swept up into the belly of the beast.
deluded in our thoughts
that all is well.

Cradled in arms
that created our discontent
swung gently so that we miss the turning of the tide.

Arms outstretched,
we dip our hands in
convinced that this is where we belong
but we are just tasting,
we ride these crescents
convincing ourselves that they are real
but we have cut ourselves off
denying ourselves the pleasure to feel.

Freedom can not be achieved
upon the backs of others
it cannot be bought
or taught

Yet it flows like gold from our minds
opening us up,
to a surge
that allows us to create
to be wild,
to be true.

It flows when we step into our own power
when we no longer walk blind.

I scream,
for recognition,
I scream
to release the pain

My freedom comes when I embrace who I am.
