[ Darkness surrounds as I ]

Darkness surrounds as I
gasp for fresh air...
choking on the desparity
of my life in all of it's...
solitude...
Loneliness as my only
companion...
and my enemy...
stealing hope from me...
snatching any joy left
within me...

Psychosis threatening to
overcome any semblance of
the woman I once was...
I realize...

I've been in this cell
long before I was
in this cell...
I was born into bondage...
enslaved by
sinful desires
and
generational curses...
and as I am
threatened to drown
in an endless flow
of my very own tears...
I choose to ...

swim.

I choose to fly...
fly on the wings of freedom
delivered to me by
the Holy Spirit
rooted deeply within me...
I choose to
dance in the heavenly melodies
of the revalations of divinity
showing me that
I can achieve liberation
from lifelong self imposed cells
and even from
concrete walls
and barbed wire fences...

This piece speaks of the time period I spent in solitary confinement while incarcerated 13 years ago...
