Liberated
A Poem by Geraldine Taylor
LiberatedVerse 1Initiated, when there’s a choice to truly take itIn order to be liberated, gain true identityWhen there’s a low road, a higher path is taken soloIt doesn’t matter even how slow, true living is freeChorusNo matter the forces I see, the invisible right before meKeep moving and gliding swiftly, liberated, it’s time to be freeAll genuine none to conceal, just chasing the joy that I feelAuthentic with goodness is real, liberated, truly liberatedVerse 2Unrelenting, a core desire with no endingDistractions don’t require tending, so undeservedlyUncomplicated, could be as simple as I make itA dream pursued, even belated, there’s possibilityChorusVerse 3Footsteps, yes I gotta find my own questThe only way to give my true best, originate and shineTo awaken, to be myself yet unmistakenAll the others they are taken, the opportunity is mineChorusWritten by Geraldine Taylor ©

Liberated" is a song that expresses the personal freedom of having choices in life and the liberation of decision. Within the first verse the individual recognises that their personal quest for a greater sense of freedom may begin alone, yet with the recognition that there will be greater rewards along the way. Comparatively, the individual has come to appreciate the concept of being liberated in comparison to their former experiences. For having experienced degrees of restrictions, confinement and authoritarian limitations whether physically, emotionally, they have come to recognise the difference.
The chorus is connected to the stage of definite decision making, in which the individual has made the choice to no longer allow the past to have reign over her life and future. As the captain of her own soul, she has come to appreciate that she can begin to create her own future and take responsibility for her choices in life.
Within the second verse there is acknowledgment of previous distractions that have had their own ramifications. The emphasis from therein is to no longer allow further distractions to hinder her journey or progress. With the pursuit of any dream one can at times go about their quest with added complications, whereby simplicity would be a beneficial choice. She chooses now to sift out any elements in her life that no longer serve her or help her accomplish her life’s purpose.
