I NO LONGER FROWN
I want to be free of
anything that ties me
down
I was simply accepting things
with a scowl
and a frown
My face had a different
appearance then
What to do, did not know
how to be free
and when
I became a prisoner
of my thoughts
Many battles with myself
within I fought
All I could do was
just ruffle my wings
Create some scenes
and pull a few strings
Now I have tasted
freedom
My appearance changed
My smiles are the
outcome
My wings were always
free
It was my thoughts
which to my soul did plea
It is always better
to do your duties
and fly
Your conscience
will not prick you
or make you to defy
I have freed myself
and my wings
I flutter
With wings of butterfly
I float like a feather
Hey Breeze! take me
anywhere
you want
No thoughts
I keep
to distract or haunt
My past is past
why live in past
The present fixed a smile
which till death will last
I am free, nothing can
tie me down
On my head now glows
the happiness
crown.
