Free

Free free free.
At last.
From the graves of my ancestors
From the burdens of
the past.
I walk down the golden path
With you by my side.
I no longer need
to hide.
Behind shame, guilt and fear
Oh. I see it so clear.
Your guiding light
moving me forward
Toward peace, ease, joy
No more need to fight.
Here, I can play
and laugh.
Who knows how long I'll be able
to stay.
Even if I leave, I know
it's never far away.
The destruction and devastation is done
It feels like I've won
These battles inside my head.
Even if for a brief moment.
For I know
There will be more ahead.
But for now
Let me tread
Alongside my new found freedom
As you call me ever
Home.
