I Break Free
My wings clipped, my dreams shattered,
My heart ached –
I say to my distraught self:
Break the shackles of love that entrapped
you over the years,
Break the chains, the bond of love that shall
stifle you in the years to come.
I struggle for my independence,
I break free,
I come out of my caged freedom to fly
away with my wings to a land unknown.
I am free at last.
Winged dreams freed me from emotional bondage.
I move on.
I break the silence to be with the world beckoning
me with arms stretched out.
