Trapped

My spirit and soul are trapped in this vessel of flesh. They scream to escape and to be liberated and soar on the breezes of life. To frolic freely among the trees, among the clouds and to run without weight and care. My spirit and soul are trapped and they want to get out. Out from under all the stress and demand in life out from all the evil and hate of the world. My spirit and soul are trapped in demand to perform, to keep a smile when I am down, to keep a stiff upper lip. My spirit and soul are trapped to work for things and objects, to keep up with Jones and Kardashians. My spirit and soul are trapped into believing that all men are made equal when the reality of this world says different, that only green currency is the great equalizer. My spirit and soul are trapped into believing that single is not wholeness that it is necessary to be joined with another body to be view without stigma. My spirit and soul are trapped in a body not acceptable because it's fat, it's woman and it's black and aging. My spirit and soul are trapped and they are screaming to be free... screaming to reveal all the possibilities of how good life could be if I just didn't give a damn about who thinks what about me.
