Freedom

is the breath of choice,to break the chains of expectation,weighing not the heart for others’ ease,but carving paths that spark elation. Decisions bloom from our own soil,a garden tended for the self,no need to dim the light I holdto lift another from their shelf. I learn to seek the things I crave,the joys that shape my very core,not shrinking back to fit their mold,but finding strength in being more. I stand in silence, find my peace,content in shadows, safe and sound,discovering the depths of me,in solitude, true joy is found. Each day, I walk a clearer trail,embracing all I wish to be,I shed the weight of toxic ties,and choose the love that sets me free. This newfound space, a life transformed,where caring hearts can truly share,to want and need, just as they do,in freedom’s glow, we learn to care.
