Freedom

A little voice unheard
Timid as a tiny bird
The only sound
Her heart pounding in her breast
Silenced, suppressed
Imprisoned in her gilded cage
No chance to fly away
Her thoughts unspoken, mute
Tongue guarded
As guarded as she
In submissive captivity
Until the day the walls tumbled
Hesitantly stumbled
Her first words mumbled
For freedom beckoned
Those first steps alone
In a world unknown
And then the second
In wonderment and awe
She saw
She understood
What she was destined for

A strong voice unleashed. I tip my hat to you, you have indeed broken free.
Love you.

Ann, I know nothing about your life, but the poems you’ve been writing seem to reflect great challenges, with this one being a break forward, in the hopes of something better.
Yay for Ann!~

Ann, your poem is a brave cry out to us all. I had to read it a few times to seek it’s true essence. to begin again,in freedom. I wish I could go with you my friend. Remember, tiny steps and then run free. A wonderful poem!
