You want to be free
but you ain’t free
You need to be free
but you ain’t free
You stuck like cheese on
dotted ecru terrain
You might wanna listen up cause
I feel yo pain
A man needs to empty out
the wreckage and leave
that mess alone
She done work you over
She done sucked yo bones
You shared sensitivity
and then fell in love
As long as that hefer’s
on yo back you can’t have
hold of the key
Then you ain’t free
Didn’t I run my fingers slight of
your neck raising yo hair?
Did I initiate coy glimpses?
Did it bring you there?
As long as you got that anchor
you can’t be with Nubi
Then you ain’t free
She inspires bouts with rain
that breaks you down to your knees
Breaks cold ice on your back
Stands there to watch you seizure
This is how a barracuda
feasts everyday
(Pause)
You don’t wanna stay
So I kiss the dampness she
leaves on your face
and whisper away the shrill-
ness she won’t erase
Then I capture your lusciousness
and drive you to see
Pronto, flee the shrew
Take a whiff
Now you free

Freedom is often contrdicted by the fetters people put on themselves. It is why nights haunted by fear tell you that freedom ain't come yet. You show the dance of the people who claim they got you like an object(people are not objects. Don't treat them that way) when you listen to them they own your attention and think they got chains to the soul. You got to tell them to go. Freedom ain't just another word it is the privilege to create your own universe.
Love, Tom B.

Agreed!
Thank you Tom. I agree that sometimes that person is weak or has become weakened by their situation (or love) and sometime a person can come by and say just the right words to help them realize that they shouldn't remain confined by traumatic
circumstances.

Love the first person voice in this!
loved the subject matter you choose also for freedom is letting someone:
whisper away the shrill-
ness
Great all of it!

Thank you
Yes, especially in love that's gone terribly wrong and there is victimization and abuse...I know what that feels like first hand and it's draining and debilitating. Thank's again Beautiful Flame.
