Being Alive

 



Free

I feel

Deep inside

As my being

Awakens with wants

Cruising in molten flames

All the scars are victories

Stamped, marked and flagged umpteen times

Let me breathe in the taste of freedom.

  7. "All the scars are victories" and I agree, as each one was survived, showing resilience, strength, and endurance. "Breathing in freedom" links freedom with life, and without freedom life becomes laborious. Great poem and the form works well with it.
