Hidden

I woke to the birds calling, the clouds scudding,

The air was chilled, the summer passed.

It made me smile, my heart felt glad,

I had found my freedom, at long last.

The change was marked, the pressure gone,

I knew I had found my soul, I wasn't alone.

I wondered idly why my mind was slow,

It used to be so fast, always on the go.

Smiling it dawned on me, as a child I had always dreamt,

Adult pressures had flipped me ,

Shaped me into something not meant.

I wasn't broken, I didn't need to be fixed,

My mind had protected me,

So that in time , I could fly free.
