Miss Independent

Now drifting

Free.

Cut from

Elastic ribbon,

Boundless.

Obligation seamless,

Fabric loosened,

Unique.

Solo bird,

No cape,

Passionate.

Skipping rock,

Single white

Rose.

Walk on

Rough tidal

Water.

Bouncing past,

Obstacles and

Courses.

Surely alone,

Yet never

Lonely.

Integrity within,

Mind inside

Dreams.

Chasing hope

Dripping from

Rain.

Miss Independent,

I pay

Respect.

To you

Who can

Fly.

For you,

Who can

Release.

And dodge

The bullet's

Oblivion.

The shame

Morphed to

Kill.

Kneeling down,

I beg

You.

To try,

I pled

You.

Sprinkle Independent

Onto

Me.

The desire

To Soar

Facilely.

Cut ropes

Tying me

Hostage.

Miss Independent,

Heart's out

Blind.

A taste,

We imagine

Colors.

The flavor,

Of an Independent

Miss.
