Floating in the dark of night
After birds have taken flight.
Out in the sea, I drift alone
Where no one else dares to roam.
Tears fall upon my face
As they increase their pace.
I am flooded with grief and despair.
I free my braid and cut chunks of hair.
I don’t need to be a beauty anymore.
He’s walked out of the proverbial door.
I am free to drift with the night or
Visit the depths of the ocean floor.
No one searches for me.
I take a step, I’m free.
Please, I want to go outside.
No reason for you to hide.
The winds bring rain.
But they are tame.
I won’t fall or melt
If hail were to pelt.
I’ll be forever in your debt
If you allow me to get wet.
I’m pulling on my chain.
You don’t need half a brain
To know I’m ready to go free.
See what a great pet I can be.
TRAPPED
Trapped inside me.
Trapped in my insecurities.
Can I break free?
It will be painful.
I break the glass walls.
I can do it.
I will do it.
Goodbye to doubters.
Hello to the new me.
UNTIL THE NIGHT
The bushes dance
to their own beat.
They comfort me
as they dip and sway.
When the sun wakes,
their branches part.
And I walk free.
Until the night.
A garden of delight for me
In colors of the deep blue sea.
In my mind’s eye,
I can see myself falling into thee.
In the shade of the plum tree,
I’ll wait and you’ll come to me.
We’ll fly away to be free
To the waves of the dark sea.
digitalfrontiers
Forest so lush green.
A sight to be seen.
Colors to brighten life
without a bit of strife.
This is the place for me,
where I can be free.
Pink and yellow flowers fill the day.
Nowhere prettier I want to stay.
I must venture inside.
There’s nothing to hide.
The words will lead me
to a place to be me.
