freedom

A topic long discussed, but more often than not, never pursued.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to run.

Take off into the unknown,

wind blasting through my hair,

engine roaring,

hand thrown out the window--

Music long confined to my own ears

blaring out into the empty space behind me

as I drive into the distance

for a better life.

Maybe I’d take someone with me,

maybe I’d brave the outside world alone,

write one hell of an autobiography

before I'm gone.

A bird emerging from a splintered cage,

a shark eating its way out of a trap,

screaming, fighting, and clawing my way

to freedom,

where I can find my place

and write my own story

without worrying about the way it’s written

or if anyone will care to read it.

Author's Note

Thank you so much for reading! Poetry has never been my strongest suit, but I do enjoy writing it plenty, and I was feeling inspired, haha. Feel free to leave a review!
