Freedom Poem by Cheyenne Watkins

I feel so liberated.
I feel amazingly free.
The weight has been lifted
From my aching shoulders.
I can breathe!
This is fantastic, incredible,
This feeling I’m experiencing.
My heart is light,
My head is clear,
You finally know how I feel.
I feel the world is my oyster,
And you are my precious pearl.
I love being so care-free,
If only for a minute,
A moment,
One split second,
Before worry and fear
Crash back down around me.
I feel like I’m on top of the world.
I feel like I’m floating on a cloud.
Maybe this feeling will stay awhile,
Maybe it’ll disappear by tomorrow.
So I’m going to enjoy it while I still can.
Who knows when I’ll feel this way again?
But for now, the world is my oyster.
And you are my precious pearl.
