Freewrite

Like opening your passenger door 
2 cm above the curb, I exhaled with great relief. 

And then I began to write. A freeing of one's
soul onto paper, inner most private thoughts 
disguised as others' wild imaginations,
letting loose of all inhibitions,
only a freedom in which the innocence
of a child or a foolish drunk may experience, 
writing for me
was a freeing of creative scratchiness
that finally
would unleash my messy caged thoughts
out into the open-
Free, from my mind.
