My Heart reminds me of Freedom

 Something has definitely opened up

I feel raw

And in many ways unprepared

For this overwhelming sensation

Settling hasn't happened yet

Instead the waves seem to grow

Ever increasingly

Like a fever in my brain

It seems like war happening in my head

The old versus the new

 Truth versus Love

Old thoughts pound away

While my heart reminds me of freedom

Acceptance is so real

One minute and the next I'm lost in fear

Again the light, again the dark, and so on

It seems so crazy

Why wouldn't I make up my mind?

And all the while there is something

Very much alive in my chest

It's there, it's active and answers

It's a greater company

Than anything else

I've ever felt

And I'm not afraid any more

It's my personal teacher

MY HEARTS REMINDS ME OF FREEDOM
