Red, yellow, purple and orange;
These colours swirl together to make
a beautiful swarm of amazement.
As I lay on the ground, my face up
towards the sky, I breathe in a sweet intake
of harvest pleasure.  The only words traveling
throughout my mind are the words “I am free.”
Free from anyone and anything.  Nothing
can touch me as I’m flying on the wings
of the wind.  The chains have been released
and the shackles have fallen off my ankles.
Just as I’m about to slip into that sweet
galaxy of freedom, screams of terror interrupt
my thoughts.  Instantly, those shackles and chains
are binding me once again.  Dragging me back through
the mistakes of my past.  As I’m being mentally dragged
through my flaws, I ask myself, “Is there such a thing
as freedom?

So cut me into pieces and tape me into something beautiful...
