“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
― Toni Morrison
Roped into the life I lead
occupied but never freed I ask myself
where and why I let the door go
I don’t know
Gave away its view for security
needed to have that surety
yet it never reached within, my sin
was never to believe in my worth
and what’s worse now that I do
to much to see through
commitments
re-fitments
and so the chains tighten
and that door never yields
— G A Rosenberg
It seems tho that even when we can finally claim our freedom, it takes quite awhile longer before we can claim its authorship, a true mark of responsibility.
Blessings, G
