Goodbye to chains,
I knew you well.
You served me well
and did me wrong.
With brand new wings
and heart ablaze,
I'm busting out.
My shell is gone.
The weight I bore
falls to the ground.
The shadows disappear.
The truth is out.
The truth is known
And free I stand.
No more tied down,
I'm flying high
and freedom is my song.
Death to the caterpillar--
I was born to fly.
Wow, was this written by you? It is so beautiful & it really describes my life. I am an Overseer at a school called Potter's House & I recently got my first tattoo. A butterfly! Thanks for writing this wonderful piece!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did write this. I'm glad it resonates with you. :) It's my story too. I'm so grateful for redemption, and the freedom that lies therein. Thanks for your feedback.
