It’s Not To Be Free It’s To Fix It

Poetry

I don’t need a one-way ticket
and backpack
to be free.

But I need a notebook and
black ink pen
to fix it.

I don’t need to be a butterfly
or bird
to be free.

But I need to be a palette
and draw my true colors
to fix it.

I don’t need to immerse
in my remorse
to be free.

But I need to ditch
my glitch
to fix it.

All I need
is to fix it,
my reflection,
and try again.
