Free

I have bent bars,

In my walk-in closet,

From cages that I’ve broken out of.

 

I have bowed bindings,

In my dresser’s drawers,

From noxious bonds I was previously cuffed to.

 

I have mountains of metal shards,

Of dangerous types,

Of connections I chose to disregard,

And stereotype,

Into a category of things I know to keep away from.

 

Cage-less, boundless, endless, I am,

Dauntless, intrepid, gutty, I am,

Lovely without restrictions bursting into forever space,

I am naïve to fatalism,

And deaf to negativities through tongue,

Simply…free.
