somebody's dungeon

With my new freedom
comes flight
the ability to soar
into the night.
Above and beyond
the boundaries
across the world
over the trees.
Imaginary perimeters
now shattered
my dreams are now
all that matters.
The ghosts faded
like useless vapor
blown away by my becoming
burned like flash paper.
I feel lighter
no longer weighed down
as I take flight
high above the ground.
I plan to travel far
see the entire world
as a woman of power
not a scared little girl.
I wish I'd known sooner
how easy it could be
freedom came when I
overcame adversity.

In truth, what defines us is our poetry.

Oooo I *love* the ending of this. Actually, the message throughout the entire piece is quite positive and essentially radiates through the screen. The way you've written it is fantastic. It's a subtle sort of power, not full blown which gives it a stronger base for appreciation.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed the read.

Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.
