Back from the Dead

I will not be
subdued.
Cages don't suit me.
I have to be free.
Fly
run
sing
dance in the
open fields, swim
in the river with
the fish and water snakes.
My soul can't be
taken without my permission.
The access is denied.
My heart isn't yours to
mock and rape.
I will rise like
the phoenix from
the ashes and sail on against
the azure sky, free and
untethered.
Resurrected
I'm back from the dead.

A free spirit doesn’t like to be caged.

[Thomas W Case]

That is for sure. Thanks.

Has the sound of one who has passed through an ordeal and now declares his independence defiantly. Having been victimized once, he will not let it happen again.

[Thomas W Case]

You got it. Thanks for reading.

[Relic]

Excellent poem, Thomas. Your words speak with a triumphant manner that sparks inspiration.

[Thomas W Case]

[Soren]

A statement of defiance and independence, standing against the world and death itself.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

[Chris Shaw]

Sounds like a journey to hell and back from an addicts diary. Subdued and caged. A horror story ending in triumph. That is a success, so is the poem Thomas.
