chapter 2.9: freedom takes flight
All caged up
Chained by the neck
Dragging a tonne everywhere I move
"You are no good!"
"You'll never be as good"
Weight of the condemning
Upon my back
A bright light
A glimmer
A candle lit in the darkened chamber
A distant voice calling out
A whisper perhaps
It's loud
"You are FREE!"
Chains shatter
The weight is still there
Wounds heal, hurts fade away
Broken wings mended
A door opens
Bursts of light gushes into the chamber
Eyes are opened to the world beyond
Winds rushes in
Wings are soothed
The voice calls out again
"Fly..."
Fear builds up
Courage floods the soul
Fear screeches and flees
Wings spread wide, strength returns to my legs
Running, speeding up, momentum building..
TAKE OFF!
Freedom flies again
