Close to freedom

Princess Osariemen Aihie

Always wanted to be a free man;

A free woman

like those birds in the air

caged in my addiction 

which brings affliction;

affliction to my mind;

to my faculty 

because most persons;

get addicted to insults;

get addicted to validation

from people;

who are not real

leading to low self esteem 

leading to sin of the eyes

sin of comparison;

who is bigger?

who is thicker?

Already an addiction

Addiction of the mind

We need to be free

    We often hold ourselves prisoner, confined by our own doubts and negative self talk. Great work.
