This is what I wanted

A short poem about freedom

I wanted this Freedom.

This Unknown.

I wanted to crave like

somebody truly Desperate.

I wanted to see myself

catapult my Light from

All of this Darkness.

I wasn’t sent here to

simply smile and be

trampled on; I was sent

here to ruffle feathers,

challenge the Injustices,

and remind you of your own

Lightness.

You don't need to bend, and

you don't need to bow.

All you need is to know your

Truth; the Truth of all Truths.

Let your Truth be your

Compass.
