freedom
through the window i shall fly,
past the trees, up to the sky.
away from here and all my fear,
straight towards the distant sea,
the waves i hear.
the window shade is ripped
and i crawl through,
escaping the cage, freed from the bars,
my insecurities many, my joys are few.
but out i go
and gone i am.
the breeze is sweet
and i know i can
escape from here and take my darkness too.
i'll come back later to rescue you.
you-my form seated at the desk,
the many quiz answers on the paper lay guessed.
no certainty present here anymore
all my hopes lay scattered and sprawled on the floor.
my attention is drained,
my hands have gone numb
and i slip into the realm of some.
some time, some place,
some look on someone's face.
and i don't care about the sun,
the rain, the wind, i need to run
because i can't say this or that
just let me out and like
that gnat,
ill escape, i'll leave this womb,
i won't spend eternity in this room.
