How I long to be
Free of this mortal prison
Which I was born
Into.
Truly
Know the freedom
Which my soul
Craves.
Unshackled
From the limitations
That genetics
And society have
Imposed on people
Like myself.
Smiling
As I spread my wings
And fly around
In your loving embrace
Knowing
I am safe.
Free
Of the diseases
Which chokes society
With it's toxicity
And lethal nature.
As
The wind blows
Over my velvety
Wings.

Your spirit wears those beautiful velvety wings, my friend.....Fly high! This is a beautiful poem!
Hopeful and positive butterfly dreams!
Brings to mind the quote, Rousseau, I believe:
Man is born free, but is everywhere found in chains.
We must embrace the freedom to be ourselves always!
Ah, to fly with those velvety wings is a beautiful thing. It's great to assert one's individuality despite all the boundations and conditions imposed by society. A lovely verse!
Love the image of those velvety wings, Therisa. A most evocative write!
