chaotic and free

I step out into the garden,

Among the flowers of demise,

As the wildlife begin to sing and scream,

At last, chaotic and free.

I kneel down to the ground,

Feeling the earth’s energy,

I inhale power and exhale strength,

At last chaotic and free.

I walk out into the world,

To the whispers closing in on me,

They tell me to run and frolic and hide,

At last, chaotic and free.

I continue on my path,

Ignoring the cries within,

Urgent demands, shouts, and whims,

At last, chaotic and free.

I stop and sit on the floor,

Anything to shut it all out,

Trying to decipher truth from the lies,

At last, chaotic and free.

I leap up suddenly,

Realizing I can do anything,

I realize I have unlimited capabilities.

At last, chaotic and free.

I begin to run ceaselessly,

Thinking of eternal vitality,

I contain all the souls of the universe,

At last, chaotic and free.

I close my eyes as I fly,

With my sword and my throne,

I am fearless and invincible,

At last, chaotic and free.
