I Am Free

Your words have touched, so deep, within me
Reviving a part that lay dormant for some time
To where, my dear, through words I do now see
That the life I have, was always there as mine
Held captive, though, by a lack of rhyme

Emancipated, I am, to venture as a poet
As my captor, now has fled, I’m free to write
Write, I shall, just as I’ve always known it
My quill be filled with ink both day and night
I thank you my dear friend for my new insight
