Declaration Of Independence


this morning
I sit here and laugh
thinking about the time
I wasted in pain
and the nothing
that I was doing waiting
ended me up at
the same point in still remain
I can not wait
I do not have the time
I feel my wings in freedom
and I can see the sky
and no longer
will I be fettered to a rock
break now my bonds to flight
in this battle cry
this is my life
and I’ll live it on my terms
choices now
made by me for me
and in this
declaration of independence
I have set
myself free

you walk in shallow water
freedom is the gown
that clings to your woman

wear it with the wind touch
feel the warm under

lovely work ms..I enjoyed it

Love your resolve. When we can laugh at pain (our own) there is plenty of hope. Enjoyed
