Sometimes I feel caged
Within mine own skin
Trapped under this weight
Of skin and bone.
The limitations of this vessel prision
creates the image of me that stands before you
But I am not who I appear to be
This person you call me
Is not me.
The "me" that I know lies deep
Within these folds of skin
These hands do not define me.
They don't tell you who I am,
Merely, where this vessel has traveled.
These eyes are not what define my soul.
They are only reflections of what you want me to be.
I am so much more.
I could be so much more.
Without these limitations.
If I could only break out of this instititution
That has straight-jacketed
My truth
My being
My ability
My "me"
Only then would I be free.

wow.
This is everything i've wanted to express over many years.
And you are quite right...our bodies and minds are limited...so many factors come into play here.
I can relate (more than you know) to your self struggle with identity.
This is a very emotive write for me...i have been moved throughout the piece.
Thank you for sharing it with us, and I hope this finds you well.
-Natalie. |
