Michael E. Harris Poet Rhyme

01082016

I want to break free
Of all the suppression.
Does anyone here 
Have a thought or suggestion?

Why would one stop me
From speaking my mind?
Of course it sounds crazy 
Most of the time.

I want to be free 
To share my expression
Radiate thought
In every direction

Are people afraid
I will influence mothers?
Who will free their children
To influence others

Thoughts are energy
They need to be freed.
Suppression to me
Is no more than greed

I can't be proud
Of a life of suppression.
It would only mean
I live for oppression.

I simply can not 
Live under the thumb
Do as i'm told
And be forced to play dumb.

I want to break free
Of all the suppression
Does anyone here
Have a thought or suggestion

I have the right
To refuse the meds.
Keep suppression
Outside my head

May i suggest
Let the children play.
Let them grow up
In a natural way.

I don't want to feel
I'm being held back.
I want to rejoice
And that's a fact.

I don't want to live
A life of suppression.
It will only lead 
To dire depression.

Life is fantastic
I repeat to myself.
Knowledge is power
And a world of wealth.

If i break free
And get away.
I can cherish each moment
Of everyday.

I want to break free
Of all the suppression.
Does anyone here
Have a thought or suggestion

Debbie Walker March 19, 2017 at 8:53 AM I Love this poem. I love the Rhythm that it has and how all of it flows together. When you write 'I want to break free of all the suppression, Does anyone here have a thought or suggestion.' Its as if you could really see deep down or feel deep down the sincerity that you are speaking of. All tens for me :) Michael E. Harris April 7, 2017 at 9:44 PM Thank You Debbie for sharing your thoughts. This is one of those poems where I sorta go over the edge and beyond in search of freedom. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Harris April 16, 2016 at 7:43 PM Thank You Iris. The beauty of this is it can be interpreted many ways. Viewed from many different angels. From birth till death and all points in between. Michael E.
