Gliding in the Sky

 Day 13, #OctPoWriMo

This platform provides such positive energy! After a long day at work, I feel rejuvenated writing and allowing my creative thoughts to flow freely all around ! Thank you!

Will follow the “ Free Verse” since that’s the way my thoughts are taking me today.

Gliding in the Sky

When the streets are embraced by the

Fallen leaves of Autumn

When the old bench in the park 

Sits there lonely, looking sadly at the setting Sun

I think about my Life that was

I was expected to be dependent

That was ordained , determined when I was born a girl

But I chose otherwise

I chose to rise and defy the set norms

I chose to follow my heart’s desire, my dream

To break all shackles that hold me back 

It was not easy , in the beginning

There were numerous struggles strewn across the path 

The path That I chose to tread

But I Flew with my wings and moved ahead

Courage, Determination , Grit

My armours when I feel tired

The setting Sun marks the end of a Day

But it also promises a new Beginning

Coming along in the Way

I get up and feel the restraints give away

With confidence, I finally open the lid of the Box

The Box of emotional imprisonment

I am Free, at last!
