About

My spirit is free, it will always be.
Like a bird in the sky, with wings aspread.
To often people will try to change,
the person that I am.

My outside is tame, gentle and soft.
But inside look deeper, if you dare.
Push my button and you will see
a wild, untamed spirit trying to break free.

People have tried to hold me back.
They tell me I am nothing.
They say I am useless, that I am ugly
as they push me to the floor.

My body was covered in bruises
on more than one occasion.
But that was just the outside.
Inside they couldn't touch.

They have gagged me and bound me
and locked me in car boots.
They have tried to strangle me
and break my back.

I have walked towards that white light,
but refused to go further.
But they couldn't touch the inner me.
They couldn't reach that free spirit.

I don't regret my past, I don't deny my future.
I will live and I will succeed.
I am shaking as I write this
for it touches deep.

So try as you may......but don't cage me in.

Yes....these are my words....and the truth.

Hi Judi - your words really made me think and take a re-look at your portfolio. I cannot say that I can even begin to understand since the acts you described are almost unthinkable to me. I want to commend you with your positive attitude - in spite of...! What you illustrate is that happiness is a CHOICE! Allow me to link you as a friend,your images are inspiring and challenging. Kind regards.

Not only you it touches deep, what you wrote, dear Judi. I think it touches anyone who reads it, including me. Your photo (and your lyrics and not just this photo of yours) promise that you can't ever be fenced in.
Thank you for your very kind comments on my "Composition in white", "Orange hibiscus, detail" and "Light from within 9."
Best regards,

It's fantastic when the clouds break, and a bit of sunlight floods down! An atmospheric, and well interpreted cloudscape, Judi. The emotive words, complement your image, beautifully. Seven.

This seems to follow on from the last image, I commented on - your caged lion.

Excellent

Colin
