REVIVAL

I miss it.

I miss having it.

The purely liberating, guilt-free freedom of simply having it...

...the freedom of expression

to transform & create.

To creatively think where no man, or woman,

has ever thought before.

~~~

To have words drift off the tongue; intertwining in alliteration, metaphors & more,

before gliding onto a smooth new page,

Dancing & weaving their way

under & over the lines.

The lines show us where we're supposed to go,

We stay inside them, in fear that we'll lose control*

-Except for those of us who are brave enough.

~~~

Brave enough

to do what we want,

say what we want,

And be whoever we damn well wish to be;

Because, in the reality of these reckless young souls,

the only barriers set

Are your own.

No longer prisoners of our own minds
our own expectations
& our own restraints,

The blade of creativity tears away
at these artificial boundaries,

Leading only

to a blank canvas.
