Free to Be

acknowledge my own feelings
feel my body,
wearing it like a coat
allow myself to be happy
or hurt
always comparing, my mind on guilt trips
my body feels heavy
weak at the same time
the outcome is a brief glimpse
of a present state
wrapped in a future promise
cling to, gives birth to false hope
denial of yourself
labelling leads to association
repetitive practice,
without a positive result
I am only human
striving to be
take a pause from breathing
going through emotions
part of life
pass on the judgement
get closer to myself
the confidence
to be of purpose and at peace
honest
find me in the peaks and valleys
on the road,
steady, strong, free
