FREEDOM

Maybe you mean the whole world for one

A disgusting creature to another

Putting away those nasty souls

I try to search for a silver lining

There are a few who judge me by my weight

Some who see the weight of my heart

If called a mistake or a disappointment

Don't let these little things get to you

I gaze longingly out to the field

Lush green grass which I hoped reflected my soul

I yearn for freedom from these barriers taut

I'm blinded by a dark cloth of confinement

🌷(2)

freedom

Ashley,
This is a good poem and one which I can personally relate to. The last line is good, very good.
Thank you
Keith
