Libera

As the thorny vines that had me tangled up were torn I felt a single tear roll down my cheek I tasted the salt as more of them began to flow As the weeds that crept up to destroy me were picked I felt my whole body become overtaken with sobs I gasped for breath as I realized I was still alive As the branches that scratched and prodded were cut I felt a new power arise in me as I stood I was able to stand on my own and escape As the feathers caressed me in a light embrace I felt my arms open up I felt them ache as I reached them to the sky As the flower petals held and protected me I felt myself fall into comfort I knew I was finally safe As the warmth of the sun shone and covered me in love I felt myself being renewed as I basked in the light I was free The sun set and radiated its golden glow I stood as a symbol of strength A masterpiece of resilience, liberated and reborn.
