freedom
Beyond these walls is a path that leads
to contentment, when put in the right environment,
Beyond these walls is the joys of pleasure
that can last forever,
Beyond these walls is the freedom to roam
without being controlled by others…
To be free is to dream
And to think about all of
Life’s possibilities.
Eager to be in the wind, and to swim with no doubt.
Thoughts becoming perplexed, and never living in doubt.
Eager to be free, eager to see.
The noise is deafening.
My heart pounding in my chest,
Louder than the sound of the plane’s engines.
Excitement, anxiety, longing is excruciating.
People all around me: so close, yet so far.
A sound came and added the excruciating wait
Announcing, “We will shortly depart. Fasten in your seat.”
This flight is not just my freedom flight.
This flight has taken me home.
