Kristen Bruni Poet Free verse

Unleashed

I'm not going to whisper
I will speak my mind. 
I will follow my intuition
Abandon judgements 
ignore unkind. 
Allow my car to steer
me in the right direction.
even when I do not have
a destination. 
I am 30 and full of unique
knowledge mixed with naiveness.
I met a man, my heart did fall
I danced without my watch.
I sang without volume control
I walked never looking down.
I looked life straight in the eyes
never bowing down or retreating. 
I fought my battles with no hesitation
I rarely apologized. 
I had a heart with more love than it could contain.
