Breathe
As I breath sweet freedom’s air, I am
reminded to never surrender it
again.
Didn’t I try to keep an
open airway, attempt to protect my
precious identity from being
eroded away by another’s sheer
will?
My will nearly as strong, but
requiring withdrawal into safer spaces,
showing little of my true face to
survive until I could walk or
run to a new life. One I chose for
myself, not one forced upon me
until I acquiesced.
I can breathe, this is my life, my
breath, my freedom, my future. I
inhale my truth, I exhale the
past.
