Through dreamy landscapes
Mind travels
Between god
And the sky
My spirit revels
In new found freedom
Thought flight
Now safe
The barbed wire gone
No longer am I snagged
Upon the electric strands
Of fear
That held me
For so long.
I have experienced mental illness in my past and it does still have a residue that I am currently busting. The fear about deep and hidden things is one of the most pernicious weeds that needs dealing with.
This poem is a short recognition of my growing courage. I used to dream of wires in the sky like electric cables which snagged me as I tried to fly.

down that old dirt road
all the way we go
flying and soaring on the radios bass
my best friends hair hitting me in the face

the sun sets in a pillar of coral light
enjoying inhaling breaths of dusty night
the power of the Sky turned upside down
upon her head I place an ethereal crown

I am heavy with the emptiness of freedon
all the way we go to finding our kingdom
we will rule the night with masks of neon
breathing in whispers, and simply lead on.

between the flashes and arms and legs
no one will have to feel the need to beg;
they will be experiencing the same ecstasy
open your minds and let them just breathe

Rewind and reverse to what we converse
all the way on our road paved with dirt
I don't really know whats at the end
all that matters is that I'm with my friends

there are no words, only feelings that cannot truely be shown
no one knows exactly how she feels, it makes her feel so
Alone
no one is there, no one is around
her heart is filled with something that has her
Confused
she has never felt this before
it Hurts
it makes her feel so
Sad so Sick
it brings tears to her eyes
it steals the energy from her body
to fuel its ever growing
Pain
it will not go away, no matter how hard she tries, tries to
Forget
yet it always finds a way to bring itself to the front of her mind
nagging her until she can take it no longer
she gives in, gives in to its unstoppable persistance
it drives her mad
it is always there, it never leaves her alone this feeling
it is as if its only objective is to break her down
tear down her will until it is absolutely nothing
until all that is left is a
Scared
Hurt
little girl alone, and afraid of the monsters lurking in the darkness
waiting, waiting for her to return to them
return to their grasps, for the little girl had left many years ago
yet they knew one day that she would come back to their lair
for the feeling growing in her heart was no match for the girl
they would go on playing their games
passing her back and forth, and she lets them
she waits until one day when their fun is over
and they are through
thoughts of freedon are the only things that keep her going
for without them she would be consumed
consumed by pain, and fear
she knows, knows that there are fields of daisy flowers
waiting for her to come to them
for one day she will be free

A cage, that was gold spun metal in the form of searing hot bars formed a gilded entrapment around the bird and its wings and in addition to the searing pain when ever it touched the bars, every time the anxious head tried to pop free it was stopped by barbs and neddles and thisles protruding everywhere. It didn't want to escape, it just wanted freedom. The ability to spread its wings and fly, the rush of the wind under soaring wings amd ruffled feathers,  the feeling of togetherness that gave, that's was it wanted, freedon.

To move past your  fears of the past
To feel the wind blow through your  haAt  reigning your peace of mind
      To have your  Freedon in life
For the sun to shine above the darkness
For your pieces of lifes to come together
To Discover new things around the world
For a vision of happiness
With Reigning the things you’ve  lost
Of a life time of everlasting love
To grow and show the world who you are
With moving past your  mistakes
To experiencing  personal growth
With shaking off yesterday trash
To share words of wisdom
To  be who you are meant to be
To stand back up after tragedy hits
To seek out laughter and happiness
To sing with a joyful noise
For your struggles to eace up a little
To pray away all negativity
To groove in the heart of love
ir
To reach out for your blessings
To reconnect with your  love ones
To start appreciating what you  have today

So please,take a chance, your never know whats there for you if you dont
everyone  is worthy enough for a chance
So take it
Take a chance!!!
