I Choose To Live

Author Dana Redricks September 20, 2023 In the realm of dreams, where ambitions ignite, I choose to live, to bask in life's sacred light. With fervor, I yearn to spread my wings and fly, to soar beyond horizons, reaching for the sky. Destined to succeed, to embrace the best of me, I strive for greatness, transforming into what I can be. For within the confines of society's narrow mold, I find solace in breaking free, becoming bold. I refuse to be a mere reflection of another's gaze, to mimic masks of semblance in life's fervent maze. Unique and unrestrained, I pledge to be, A version of myself that no one else can see. Above the clouds, on ethereal paths, I'll tread, Far away from the tears, fears, and pain we dread. Seeking a land where freedom blossoms and thrives, on wings unfurled, I yearn to reach where liberty survives. To a journey uncharted, where no soul has strayed, Eager to taste, feel, and perceive, I am not afraid. A pilgrimage to the Lady who guards our dreams, To witness her magnificence, as her presence gleams. Majestic and proud, she stands tall and strong, a beacon of hope, a voice for the silenced throng. In her embrace, I'll find the courage to be, all that I desire, all that I aspire to see. So, I choose to live, to spread my wings so wide, To seek the skies where dreams can no longer hide. And if ever I find myself lost in the unknown, I'll remember my purpose, and I'll find my way home.
