“Hang on to the world as it spins us around”

Plant your feet firm to the ground

Take a leap in an effortless bound

Your day is here

I don’t believe in miracles

I believe in freedom

Pay attention to the subliminal sounds if freedom

Planted into our everyday lives

Dear spirit held captive by the web of collective order

My soul is calm and bordered

My soul shouting to the sky

And I want it...

Let me soar like the crows that

harvested on your flesh,

Allow me to flee like the rats

that rest on your grave,

I’ll be the thorned tendrils that

snake around you, as a test,

If I never leave fully promise

me you’ll be afraid,

Make a swear to me you’ll

return the emotion, to me, you

gave,

I’m no more, like a finch, caged,

Let me be your worst nightmare,

but the one you made,

Freedom finds ...

Mama told me that one day, I could remove the chains

Mama told me that she thought that one day, things would change

Mama told me my dirty hands would one day be soft and clean

Mama told me one day, I would be tall and lean

That one day finally came

So I tossed my chains in the licking flames

And I washed my hands in the basin

I hoped to grow tall and lean

And I climbed to the plantation hill

Freedom is defined in many different ways

From words written on a documents page

To the ability to properly express your rage

For some it’s to get out of a cage

For others it’s to get a proper wage

Freedom is expressed in many different ways

Sometimes it’s through an inspiring speech

For others it’s to be able to visit the beach

Everyone sees the different kinds of molds

No one understands th...

freedom.

what does that really mean?

an outsider might look in,

through a small hole in the wall,

and say that we are free.

but i know too well,

i see beyond small hole in the wall.

i see the chains of our words,

that tie us down to the floor.

i see the cuffs of our ghosts,

that hug onto our wrists.

i know that we are not free,

for we are bound by our own misery....

No obligations, no where to be. You can plan the day as you like. You could take a plane to the other side of the world or step in a car and go on a long roadtrip to the mountains. Maybe you want to spend the day in nature or just stay the whole day at home, relaxing in your sweatpants. No worries about money or work, only blissful thoughts today. Today you’re free to do what you want and where yo...

Freedom..Ha. What a lie. Freedom? Something I would love to have. But it feels so…unreal? Like I will never have it. I imagine it as something freeing. When I’m finally good again, when my mental health isn’t as fucked up anymore. When I maybe found a lover? And maybe aren’t that anxious about going to public places anymore.

Freedom.

A wish....

When she cried to the river

With all she had bundled

And carried all on her own

It cried right back

Saying, “you are not weak but you

Just carry too much on your back

I am a strong river, I can carry

Your load

For I have been here quite long

And my water used to cut

Through the road

So give me your pain,

Sorrow, loss, anger, and more

I don’t care how much it is

Even when the rain starts

To pour”

...

A woman's spirit, a boundless power,

A force so strong, it cannot cower,

Breaking shackles, breaking chains,

A rebel's heart, unashamed

A mothers nurture,

A small girls scream,

Tearing through the walls like a beam,

A women’s walls around her heart,

They put them there to shwart the the pain,

To stop despair,

Only stopping to breath air,

She stands tall, a warrior's stance,

Fighting for the battl...

Freedom, elusive but true

A concept we all pursue

A state of mind, a way of life

A precious, sacred, coveted prize

Like a bird soaring in the sky

Or a butterfly fluttering by

It knows no bounds, no limitations

It's the ultimate form of liberation

We yearn for it, with every breath

To break free from the chains of death

To spread our wings and take flight

To live each day with pure delight

It's ...
