Running Free

Through the trees the moon shines bright

casting ominous shadows across the ground

the wind howls in response to my cries

calling out to the night to take me

feet pounding on the hard earth

trying to run away from my feelings

but there is no escape for me

trapped by the people around me

when all I want is to run free

who are you to hold me down

who are you to make me hurt

who are you to treat me as if I was of them

you don’t see me run in the night

the wind twirling around my body

hugging every curve as it caresses my delicate skin

my heart racing wild with happiness as my feet carry me

the night is my home and the moon my safety

and I cannot be caged by your needs

I am free forever
