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.

Renewed

Standard

And now I lie naked.
Naked in the earth.
Everything I have carried
In me,
Stripped from
My heart
And
Removed from my soul.
Washed clean.

And I feel the wind.
I breathe the air.
I taste the dirt on my lips.
I am settled in my skin.

Renewed.

The time has come to

Arise and set my feet gently on the path before me.

Let this new journey

Begin.

Innermost Longing

Standard

Here I sit.

I cannot sleep yet I am exhausted.

I want to laugh.

I want to cry.

I want to curl up in the closet.

I want to run beside the ocean.

I want to scream.

I want to sit atop a mountain and feel the wind in my hair.

Feel it stroke my face.

I want to dance and laugh and sing until I collapse.

I want to forget.

I want to stand tall, walk forward

And never look back.

I want my heart back in one piece.

I want to sleep and dream and I want to wake up feeling safe with a  smile in my heart.

I want to trust.

I want to let go and love,

Hold nothing back.

I want to lean and rest my soul.

I want to breathe.

I want to break the surface.

I want to revive my heart.

I want to give a piece of me without regret.

I want to break the chains my heart and mind have bound me in.

I want to sigh.

I want to cut the anchor and soar.

I want to speak softly and be heard.

I want to lie in a field of flowers and watch the clouds drift by and listen to the wind caress the trees.

I want to believe in myself.

I want to be.
