The Snakes in a field of Green

I inhale deeply, take the first step with desire in my soul to grow
to be the seed replanted in the soil to receive Vitamin D from Father Sun

I wanna be free, but I know I cannot fear living
just because I breathe out my nostrils and out my mouth.

I still hunger and desire for more for myself when I do not feel alive 
if I run far enough to the hills
break the chains that held a tight grip on me will I still be free?

That is something I am still learning to understand.
