Freedom: a Ballad

in National Poetry Month for all women

Freedom comes

Freedom goes

Freedom waves

Freedom wows

I buried my sorrows

under my toes

I made new promises

a while ago

ahead I follow

ahead I go

I healed my soul

the pain I throw

under the knots

I buried my “NOs”

Freedom comes

Freedom goes

Freedom waves

Freedom wows

I sang and danced

my beauty I show

despite my past

there is courage I know

ahead I follow

ahead I go
