I demand that you
release my heart
from bondage.

You have no right
to hold onto me,
I already paid my dues,
and I have asked you
to set me free.

I hereby demand a writ
of habeas corpus.
You must set me free.
It says so,
in the US Constitution.

(giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, I love the metaphor in here, sweet friend, and may your Emancipation Proclamation set yourself free and all others who are taken advantage of or usurped! (big hugggsssss) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, this is powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
