"Free"
And On Some Nights, I Felt Barely Tethered To Life At All
Free-Perfectly free to me myself, to find myself, to express myself!
Freedom is exhilarating when you realize you are free
I know that my beauty is just as great as any other woman could be
For I cannot imagine any woman with greater soul than me!
I do not envy, but seek to learn from other women
I know in my heart that we have more in common than others
That I don't ever have to feel like I am less pretty than any other woman
Because When i put on Eyeliner I appear as among the most beautiful of women!
Thus my insecurity fades away and I go bare my hair is black and so long
My eyes are ocean blue, my shin is white like white porcelain china
My lips, parted, conceal a contagious smile that spells my ultimate victory
There is something in going hungry that makes me feel alive
Hunger and the gnawing away until one is perfectly thin, i am thin now
and I could run like a deer if i had to, I am beautiful, magical, in love,
 and free!  Free at heart is the faraway emotion i am tethered to chase
Like a dove seeking my mate, my husband and I, lone wolves
There is no other we are for life, neither can replace, only grieve!
I am beautiful, magical, in love, and free as can be!  Every night
my mate Theodore Comes home to me.  Don't you see...we are both free
Free Together, He And I!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
