This is my poem on liberation –
~ Liberation ~
Ditch the program
kick out the past
transform
transmute
recompute
find the grace space
where I can flow
and go
into the still
let go of the will
to use
confuse
abuse
and refuse
myself.
Disallow
the past to
drip
drip
drip
into the now
rip
rip
rip
away the present.
I’m making
a new way
a new day
I’m here to say
because I’m covered
I’m recovered
one sublime
day at a time
newly discovered
salvation
freed
from the endless
machinations
of my mind.
Create
liberate
unfold
reveal
behold
so I can relate
to my heart
make a new start
turn on the genes
know what it means
to live full out.
Release the steam
the primal scream
I’ve finally seen
the pain
the grief
I’ve been holding in
holding onto
all the injustice
the hurt
the bullies and the badgering
resentment
contempt
violence of any kind
no longer blind
to all the suppression.
I’m letting go
sweet surrender
and release
find some peace
at last
I’m just want some rest
finally take a deep breath
know that no matter what
it’s gonna be okay
I just want to heal.
Cracked open
instead of up
I caught a glimpse
of the colors
I thought
I was chasing the dawn
and here I find
that brilliant light
right here
inside of me.
