Acceptance

I haven’t truly lived until now. 
I have been locked away for so long 
In a small room in a place that was never my home. 
Home is where you feel safe. 
My freedom without judgment is where I feel most safe, maybe that’s home. 
That’s how I feel now. 

Full throttle and no chain linked connected to the wall on my tailgate. 
I broke that. 
A cloud of smoke from the exhaust and my tires working hard to break the chain made me feel like I was in the sky. 
I flew. 
Down the coastline, windows rolled down
Serendipity is waving hello with the waves.
