I Am Free

Birddie Jane

This burden

That has been on my heart

For two decades

Weighing me down

Controlling my life

Controlling my fears

But today

I stood up 

I took that chip off my shoulder

And I smashed it

My horizon is clear

And I am finally free

  • Comment from author about the poem: Today I feel like a completely different person. Yesterday I was finally able to tell someone what I waited nearly twenty years to say. I have this light and joyous feeling in my heart, one that can only be obtained from freedom.
