Farthest One

In a world of puny gods and tiny beings
We are born with shackles in our feet 
Branded with norms in different creeds 
We are told to listen and never speak. 
But you, who is meant to roar and meant to scream,
You are meant to run like a wild beast,
To chase your soul and hold it free,
So drink the poison of this world
 And let it heal.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
