Prisoner
Imagine being locked in a prison, yet there are no cold steel bars, no guards no locks no keys.
No other inmates but you.
No razor wire fences to keep you in. You're free to go wherever you want, you are free to go to beach and wiggle your toes in the sandy ocean. Free to go to the park, mingle with friends and loves ones.
There is no limit to do anything you want to do. Only limit is the freedom to be you. What if your bars are what other people would think of you. Or how they would feel if they can see you. All of you, the things you don't like about yourself
. The things you done that they don't agree with. Your ideals that are not part of the collective. That side of you that others think is weird. The side of you,that you reject, that has you confuse about who you are. The side that tells you, why am I not like everyone else.
The side of you that you are ok with, yet you think everyone else will not be ok with. What if you are imprison by what other people will think of you. If you were to free yourself from the cell you are locked in that you created for yourself.
You must break out of your self imprisonment first to begin, to saw your way through the bars of what other people think. To be free first you must accept who you are.
Love who you are change what you can about yourself that you don't like not based on the likes of others, and who whoever you are in the end.
Love that strange creature, and embrace it. And those who love and embrace you share your freedom with them. Share your love with them.
Fear is the only guard that keeps you from being free. It's better to lose others than lose yourself. Because those others who's thinking that keeps you a prisoner
. They have their own prison to escape. Courage is the key. If I am left alone with me. At least I would be happy alone and free.
