freedom.

"I once had  d r e a m s
of becoming a beautiful poet
but upon an unfortunate series of events
saw those dreams  d a s h e d
and divided like a million stars in the night sky
that I  w  i s h e d  on over and over again
sparkling and broken


But I didn't really mind

Because I knew that
it takes
 g e t t i n g everything you ever wanted
and then  l o s i n g  it

to know what true  f r e e d o m  is

I had a  c h a m e l e o n  soul
no moral compass pointing due north
no fixed personality
just an inner  i n d e c i s i v e n e s s 
that was as wide
and as  w a v e r i n g  as the ocean

Who belonged to no one
who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
who wanted  e v e r y t h i n g
with a fire for every experience
and an  o b s e s s i o n  for freedom
that terrified me to the point that
I couldn't even talk about it

and pushed me
to a nomadic point of  m a d n e s s
that both dazzled and dizzied me. "
