I Am Free

You aim to 
me keep
confined.
You aim to 
shackle
me in 
chains.
You want 
to silence 
me .
But I won't 
let you
keep me 
here. 
I have 
broken 
out
of the 
box.
I have 
broken 
free
from 
the 
chains.
I have 
found 
my
voice.

Great way to write this. You are boxed in, perhaps barely escaping, but no matter how narrowly you found your voiceM

Well said Alexis. We all need to stand up and say we won't stand for Big Brother taking over our lives. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB

No greater power on earth then when we finally find our voice and the strength of our within. Thank you for sharing Alexis
