Freedom
I'm moderately happy
It's easy and stable
But I'm owned— and controlled
I work for them— and not for me
The stability has kept me chained in golden handcuffs— for too long
I can't stay here forever
It's not within my values system
And with the leap I make
The unknown—the risk I choose to take
I embrace freedom
Thanks John! Love hearing your life reflections. How fortunate we are ro have you here with us as a poetry teacher. 😃
Kind regards,
Rasa
I have certainly known that feeling, Rasa. All those years teaching poetry and never writing any of my own!
Thank you. Hope your bid for freedom works out! 😀

What a lovely comment Rasa. Made my day! 😀 However, I didn't say that I taught poetry very well haha...
