"Unstucking"

#poetry by DSS: "Unstucking"

Releasing the miles, dancing horses on played grass - frolicking in sunstained shadows that penetrate the bonds without keys to this cell. I am not forgetting but my hands are ungripping the bars, stripping and shedding the guilt and shame which shouldn't be - couldn't be. fists unclenched, there is no fury left to fight, no reason left to fall backwards versus climbing the blue sky along rainbow to my own pot of glory.

The only lines drawn are the ones that carry hidden messages. 

The only chains left are the ones with empty links and hearts and dreams.

There is a choice behind the freedom to choose.

There is a journey.

There is a new life beyond the walls built by mine own two hands.

And, eventually, there is a strength in being admittedly weak enough to let go.

I am unstucking myself of you. To be free. To find another. To be happy.

Maybe finally we'll both get what we have wanted all along.
