Freedom.A Poem by Sarah Jaymes
We'll raise the sun, hang it up, watch it fall, and do it again.
Sit in grass, up to our knees, dream up a revolution, set ourselves free. We'll claim the stakes, open those gates, find the freedom to believe, we have all we need. We'll make it work, rehearse, intelligent quotes, read books and take notes. Never fail to stay awake, recognize the lies, forget the word hate. We'll drink ourselves dry, medicate and reciprocate, participate in love. A world to be discovered, desperate to pull the covers, unlock the gold to feed our souls. Suppressed our lives, not longer depressed nor demised. Lower the sails, swim out to sea, sink what has failed to find beauty. In the waters we must never falter, hook the lips of those unloved. We'll never leave what we've become. What have we become?
