With Only A Sigh

Standard

You cry out loud

And they all come running.

Instead

She stifles herself.

Covers her own mouth.

Maybe she is too proud.

It is all relative.

Life.

And what we perceive as disaster.

Our minds comprehending the thick and thin

From different angles.

Maybe she finds herself not good enough.

 Her worries

Less worthwhile.

She has held back so far,

The cry.

Thinking she would use it only

In her last effort

To hold the velvet curtains

Open.

But perhaps

She will slip

Into the

Silver twilight

With only a

Sigh.

Free

Standard

I hope wherever you are,

You are

Free

Now.

Free to be your beautiful self.

And when anyone tries to stifle you,

You don’t ever hold back.

I hope you see through them

And know now it’s not about you,

Their fear.

It never was.

You,

So beautiful.

Too free for some people to handle,

And too much  yourself

That it terrified them to see how much they

Themselves

Hold back.

How they keep themselves in chains.

I imagine you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs

While the leaves fall at your feet,

Some wild autumn wind playing in your hair.

And I know

You

Are

Free.
