Freedom

Freedom is my medicine.
My sugar topped with cinnamon.
My my metabolism to my 
adrenaline.
Being locked up is impure,
So, my strength, I endure.
"I embrace it with my arms,
through the struggles, 
through the storms".
I'll take a dose of freedom
when I'm feeling down and out.
Freedom is my cure
when my soul is in a drought.
"When I close my eyes,
I dream, dreams of freedom.
"Freedom is my "Paradise",
my "Heavenly Kingdom".
"It holds me so tight
never letting me go".
"Some
me people say I'm crazy".
"All I have to say is, so"!
"I carry my freedom,
like a child in my womb,
and when I die,
freedom will live.
it won't follow me to my tomb"!

            " FREEDOM"

Thanks again Linda. Everyone keeps saying that I won but nobody has contacted me for my prize rewards. Been searching but I don't know who or how to contact anyone to receive my rewards. Feeling like I've been scammed.

TAMICA, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
