FREEDOM TO BE

FREEDOM TO BE


I WAKE UP
IT'S MORNING
THE MOOD, IT SEEMS FINE

FOG
LIFTS FROM MY BRAIN
LIGHT
SEEPS THROUGH MY MIND


I SIT FOR A WHILE
NOT IN COMFORT OR FEAR
WITHOUT FROWN ON MY FACE
NO EXPRESSION TO BEAR


I LISTEN FOR SOUND
TO HINT AT MY DAY
WHAT NEXT CAN I DO
WHICH WORDS
SHOULD I SAY


THE NUMBNESS SUBSIDES
AT LEAST
IT MAY SEEM
AND THOUGH NOT ALONE
ALONE ON MY TEAM


A GLANCE
OUT THE WINDOW
I REFLECT ON THE PAST
THE SHOW, SELF DECEPTION
I STARRED IN THE CAST


THOUGHTS OF THE FUTURE
AND PLACES TO SEE
A LIFE TO REGAIN
MY FREEDOM TO BE


I FIND MY COMPOSURE
GATHER MY STRIDE
I LET OUT A SIGH
AND SUMMONS MY PRIDE
I KNOW WHO I AM
NO REASON TO HIDE
