Oh Lorde, is it true what you say? That there are no new ideas but just new ways to feel them? That poetry is not a luxury?
I feel all the time
The idea to break free
From the traps around me
I watch myself
Give in
Take in
Stumble to find a compromise
Of what my truth is
To be able to feel
Uninhibitedly free
From my thoughts
From my fears
Of what it means to be a woman in my life
Can you help me feel
My poetry?
I dream of mountains and solitude
Of children and loving friends
of no chains on my feet
or ropes on my wrists
of no reins in my hands
holding another in
I dream of the impossible
I know
It is not here where I choose to be
It is only in my heart that I can feel
Free like
The space around the words of a poem
