I Like to Write About How I Feel

Not Used To Being Free

By: shannonymous
Written on February 15th, 2013
I wrote this as a blog back in December, but was reminded of it again when I saw this picture today:


The rattling of the chains on the cage suddenly cease.
The key is removed and without its presence my heart feels incomplete.
I think this must be it, must be the end of me.
But when I open my eyes again I can finally see.
The light shining in fills the space where you will be.
And what mattered back then will become my history.
But what matters right now is the light inside of me.
I'm not used to this feeling, not used to being free.

    Is it the key or the lock that your heart misses?

      the key was removed from the lock, and since it had been there so long it feels strange that it is gone now...but that doesn't mean i "miss" it...quite the opposite, I love freedom, even if it is scary and strange feeling and I'm not used to it.

      my "heart" feels like it needs to have the key inside locking it tight to be complete, and once it is removed I'm scared that I can't survive without it, but then I realize that I can live, and that the space that is left from the "key" now leaves room for light and love.

      That makes sense.
