LISTEN
Deep inside
is a wish,
a notion to break loose
from any restrictions on my Spirit.
Deep inside
is a letter from me
to read to myself
and trust in my madness to be free.
Deep inside
I’ve discovered
I have forgotten my worth
and sold myself for pennies.
How can I break loose
from this hypnotic world
and rise again from within?
How many times
have I pondered this path
only to become distracted?
Deep inside
Listen.
