Don't buy your captors
Or everyone will know
Coming as a free spirit is better
Don't let the room tell on you because it will
Once is a roll of the dice
Three times is sacred
a fourth time is a march for tomorrow
Take simple breaths in truth and deep ones in pursuit
Say I love you, only when you mean it and when you really feel it, speak it softly or shout it to the winds, it's up to you
Don't buy your captors or the free spirit never wins
Cross your heart so you understand
See how that works for him?
now there is distraction to blame
Conversations are glass when there are no footsteps, only an enemy walk
A soul trapped has no regard for highways
Ego as a sort of preservation excuses the homeless
It's like an attitude walking all on its own

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I loved the flavor of this one Lisa! Brava! Those boots are fierce by the way! ☺️
Personifying the room was a nice choice. I like the dominance over love when spoken. That it should be spoken softly. But if not, it should be shouted to the wind instead. Slipping on boots like those, does not come without slaying words so that it fits the vibe. This was masterfully done. 🤗❤️
This is beautifully written!
