See it

I am prejudiced

blind to the truth

and swayed by sweet words

caught up in the beautiful scenes

and the flashy people

I no longer have the sense of

perception

to react with my own thoughts

I only want to line up

like the others

and drink at the trough of

faded excuses

and delight in the

life of bloated excess

not realizing that my eyes

are preoccupied with visors

of prejudice

against myself

Freedom

break the bondage of my soul

and make me whole and strong

my mind is too long in captivity

and my destiny is freedom

hurt and ignorance almost swallowed

and deeply hollowed my heart

but I have hope for a future

unsealed without structure and

and away from my wardens

where I can give and nurture others

and help them to unlock their chains

with a goal to sustain their freedom

from the ignorance, snobbery and guises

set to compromise our life's anchor – our freedom
