Liberation

While in the the murky waters of her womb, I was submerged,
Yet, like a dolphin out of the deep blue sea, I emerged
From the darkness of the womb, I sought the light
And during the birthing process, we are so close to death, yet desperately pursuing life

Walking through life, often with the urge to run
Heart broken, OK, but Daddy, I'm still gonna have fun
Lost, alone, abandoned, but hoping to soon be found
Feeling isolated in the midst of a crowd regardless of whose around

The twists and turns of life will surely land me on a road that's straight (right?)
Looking around each corner, but realizing, I'll have to wait
Til' the time is right according to the His plan
But, impatient, I pursue my own course, warranting a reprimand.

No more rhyme, no more meter, no more forced regulation
Instead, I shall pour my emotions, reality, no more imagination

The years have taught me to say this and do that to gain the approval of most
To win the hearts of some, to intrigue the minds of many
But then I lost.  And I lost.  And I lost some more.
Those I love seem to drift out of my life, beyond my reach, into their eternal destination
And I recall the words of one who knew me better that all others, "Be Yourself", he said
The time has come for you to release the chains
Remove the blinders
Rid yourself of the inhibitions
Let down the walls
Cry the tears
Live fearlessly
Love freely
Risk everything, sometimes gaining, sometimes losing
Allow your heart to soar
Reach for the stars
Find your passion
Live your dream
Give yourself, completely
Change the world
Within me is the embryo of all that God has placed in me
It is time to tap in, feed it, nurture it, love it and release it
So join me on this journey
As I tap into and share the fragments of my mind
And transparently share pieces of my heart.
