FREEDOM

It's been a long time since I like what I see

That person in the mirror looking back at me.

It's been a long time since the feelings I've felt

I've allowed to wash through me, making the ice melt.

Leaving a warm open heart ready to love

Not only myself, but others too,

Who also know the meaning of pain.

And what it feels like to finally gain "FREEDOM".

Freedom from the prison we place ourselves in,

That stops us from loving ourselves from within.

The prison from which we look out in despair,

And long to be free in the fresh open air.

Well that prison no longer has a place for me.

For I by loving myself, have set myself FREE.
