“The Unbinding”
I revoke all contracts that tied growth to pain,
No more shall thorns be proof I’ve bloomed.
Let joy be the measure, not how much I’ve strained—
My soul is not here to be groomed
By suffering’s hand. I reclaim my own rain,
Let it fall soft, let it soothe what was doomed.
I dissolve all agreements that made love a leash,
No more do I bend for affection disguised.
Love is not chains, nor silence for peace,
Not a cage with gold bars idealized.
It breathes where it will, and it walks without speech—
I follow it free, not chastised.
I reject all systems that placed freedom behind
Obedience, cloaked as a virtue to earn.
I will not bow for a truth redefined
By thrones that expect me to burn.
My liberty rises, unbartered, unlined—
No gatekeeper owns what I yearn.
I remember what was never meant to be forgotten,
The wisdom that hums in my bones.
The song of the stars, the dreams once downtrodden,
The roots that recall their own stones.
I gather the threads of the lost and the rotten—
And weave them back into my home.
