I am free!


Standing upon the crest of the hill,
Feeling the potential of my new life,
An astonishing golden sun overflowing into the newly sprung earth.
Illuminating sun rays in a kaleidoscope of colors,
Glistening off the mosaic of tumbling waves.
An iridescent rainbow,
Indigo, emerald, amber, apricot, ruby, and lavender
Rising above the purity of the atmospheric clouds,
A pearly silver dove,
Set free from the confinements of the earth,
Like the dove I have been liberated.
I was imprisioned and my warden was insecurity,
I have had deliverance!
Like the dove free in the sky,
I am free in my conscious.
Unchained, unconfined, unobstructed,
Independence from the norms of society.
The truth about me known.
Basking in my identity like the warmth of the sun.
I am free!
