Freedom


With words as soft as cotton

You can be forgotten

But with words of steel

You take a step to steal

The world

The place where, curled,

You hid and never open yourself

While keeping a locked shelf

Of all you wouldn't dare show

For the fear of being called low

But now is the time to release

Because you are the final piece

Of all that dares to exist
