As Lacee Danielle: I'm finally free from my physical cell. Listen closely - and you will see that I am finally free! Though I was trapped between heaven and hell, now that I am finally out, I wish you all well. For years I sat alongside despair and sorrow, Wishing freedom would come today or tomorrow. You see, I was not born like a sculpture nor rooted like a tree Rather I was born an untamed one - a spirit pure and free. No cage should have ever held me captive, no label should have ever defined me - I was flexible and flowing from my core- with nothing set in stone and so much to explore! Then one day there was a cease to my sublime, no one, not even I, able to rattle the door To my mind. I was no longer a free bird leaping on the back of the wind, floating downstream until the currents end. I used to dip my wings in the yellow-orange sun rays, daring to claim the sunset along the way. Instead, I was locked in a narrow cage, seldom seeing through the turmoil my mind did wage as my wings were clipped and my feet were tied I couldn't even sing, try as I might. The song in my head was a fearful shrill of things unknown but longed for still. The tune in my head was the very one everyone knew of me, and my spirit could hear on the distant heart-horizons of my true family. There, caged within, I stood on the grave of my dreams where the shadows shout and the nightmares scream. I waited til it came, its name: FREE! Now I'm free - as free as I can be, Sailing on another breeze, riding winds soft through the whispering trees, naming the sky as my own. My wild is once again free - it is me - I am no longer locked inside - I AM the sky! I have spread my wings and am dancing in the storms - I am soaking up the rains and singing in new form! So, please, do not weep for me! I will forever be laughing in the sunshine and holding hands with my siblings, while we play tag with the wind - awaiting the rest of my family! I leave you with one last wish, Never stop adventuring - stay fearless! Stay curious and positive and wild, And above all else, Embrace your inner child and be FREE - BE free, like me! My name is Lacee Danielle, and I am finally free from my physical cell.
