"freedom is a state of mind."

every step i take is shaky,
uneasy,
laced with doubt
my knees at the verge
of giving way

but as each
resonating sound embraces
this bird's cage,
through each
exhale as weak as these
shedding feathers

slowly, but surely,
i will break through these
walls that confine
my hidden self

the feathers woven
with negativity will
escape, and
my heart will learn to
love the frail,
transparent feathers
that replace those hollow
burdens

though these wings
are known to easily shatter -
one day,
the nightingale will sing
once more

on my way, i'll trip and stumble, but with each step, i'll slowly shed the doubts and the negative thoughts. soon enough, i'll get there. one day, the nightingale's song will be heard again.

this book is a collection of works i have received awards for, and they are my treasures. this is my journey, step by step.
