Bound To Be Free
Bite through the rope that binds me
chewing til it's gone
frayed beyond repair
splitting apart
FREE
running through the landscape
brushing trees enticing blood
dragging conscience far behind
followed but anesthetized
NUMB
watching all this from a distance
hindsight foresight all the same
old and new begin and ending
release into the air so thin
SCREAM
puncture silence without reason
angry shaking wi'in my walls
presence known all but quelched
green and moist it takes me in
WOMB
smothered but not suffocating
everything I could ever need
run no further digging deeper
swallowed into newfound life
SLEEP
pictures visit without warning
history given though uninquired
waves and motions shake not stir me
til I wake and blind again
WAKE
world I'd lost so soon surrounds me
all in place I never left
held onto by all that knows me
held on to and trapped inside
BOUND
