Freedom From Bullies

Grey  
weight 
like dirty chains 
twists around cells, organs 
becomes pitted inside 
enters insidiously relentlessly by cruel fangs  
the coldest of judgement like blood splashed 
at white light 
So polluted 
the angry 
paranoia  
the weak 
closed  
minds 
gravitate toward each other 
the mean  
find the  
mean 
and sometimes 
the gentle 
the inward 
the quiet
cannot tell the difference 
the poison  
is taken in 
allowed to take hold 
manifests as 
the deepest of  
sadness 
doubt 
shame 
it becomes the prison  
within which the 
cruel 
closed 
beings  
pace and stare 
Freedom 
true  freedom 
is the discovery 
the remembering 
the darkness does not belong within 
it was never one's own 
in an instant 
this knowing  
brings the Release 
and a beautiful return to 
to Living in  
weightless 
fluttering  
light
