I Want To Set Free My Heart


I want to
Set free my heart.

Sometimes
It feels like
I've collapsed inward.

The rest of me
Like shackles
Weighing it down
As if to protect it
From the inevitable.

"Get out of your own way"
I hear periodically.

I want to
Set free my heart.

I want to
Open up
And let the rest of me
Stretch outward
From West to East
From South to North
Vice versa
And everything in between.

I am free.
