The Taste of Freedom

How brave it is
To taste freedom
Again and again
By not putting up an image
for the world to adore.

How brave it is
To cherish freedom
Again and again
By showing up as
Who you are
No more, no less
Every single time.

How brave it is
To bask in glorious freedom
Again and again
By recognizing that
Not everyone
Can understand
And that’s okay.

How brave it is
To frolic in wondrous freedom
Again and again
By rejoicing the path
You knew, deep inside
Is meant for you
To tread on.
