Day of Freedom

Feeling good, finally free, guess it includes the spirit The spirit of freedom encompassing, engulfing memories follow through with their usual routine but they only serve as motivation this time to be the best possible outcome the past wants to diminish defying the odds, making a difference becoming a positive force from a darkened place A struggling childhood should have crippled all hope destroyed dreams gave birth to a determined loser waiting to win represented by twins, a pig, and an ash tree; all horoscopes The spirit animal being a wolf, chosen animal, chameleon Is there any shame, any regret no, not today Shivering in the cold winter's breeze counter-balanced by the warmth in a twilight lit heart Rain king, no I'll leave it Counting Crows but it does calm the growing storms knowing I have the strength and means to overcome my personal demons, my personal illness but I'm done boasting about my new found strength I need to give it away for a better purpose there's more pressing matters deserving my attention
