The Freed Prisoner

Now, that I've been freed, I beg you never to forget: That before you poke me, Or my poetry... I'm only part of all That I have endured. Now, that I've come home, I beg you never to forget: That before you stigmatize me, Or my sorrow... I'm only part of a tragic tale Of deceit That I have survived. Now, that I've found solace, I beg you never to forget: That before you disturb me, Or my pursuit... I'm only part of an equation That I have not solved. Now, that I've healed wounds, I beg you never to forget: That before you judge me, Or my scars... I'm only part of all That we are.
