Cry Freedom Poem by Janice M Pickett

When we no longer can call ourselves Free
It is time to find the space we need
No matter how much we care
No matter what connections we have

Being smothered by another
will destroy any connections
man must stand alone and be himself
being confident in himself

Trusting and caring does not mean smothering
A true relationship can let go
a trusting relationship is safe it sets free doubt
A real relationship has no mistrust

When one begins to feel
that the stale and stagnant surroundings
have brought discontent
Then one gets the desire to move away
allowing space and time to correct the balance

When we love something
we set it free
If it is ours it stay's close enough
but remains its own person
Such is the way of human minds

So let love blow free
for if it is yours it will surely return
then do not stifle it
Allow freedom to be the bond
that holds it together
