Freebird Poem by Tyrone Holmes

Oh how lovely it must be
To be able to flee
This wretched land,
And take flight
On your own demand
To be free
From all the tyranny
Left behind by,
You massive wingspan
Fly high, fly high
Say goodbye freebird
To all the misery
And abandon this god-forsaken place
For whatever challenges you face
You shall struggle
But also overcome
Stay strong, stay strong
Reserve strength freebird
For this trek is not over
You must continue on
From the depths of hell
Must you rise
And show your true beauty
To prove you are no ordinary beast
Soar steady, soar steady
For you are not alone
But this you do not see
Your sight blinded
By pain, despair, agony
And the near-defeat you've tasted
You see no ally, just for
Fight long, fight long
Guard yourself freebird
For you may not be alone but,
How is one to trust any; Friend or Foe
