Liberty

Freedom to speak, to choose, to read, to love

I have everything

Still, I’m trapped

In a closet of noise, worry, anxiety

And perception

My wrinkles and lack of beauty

My aging mind

My cancer

Acknowledgment

For

My ordinariness that remains

I need liberty

From my big house and smart kid

From the constant urge to scale a summitless peak

From fatigue

I need detachment

Not from the world but me

I need peace
