the liberated

the liberated

A Poem by delapruch
"

wanting this life for yourself is easy, once you realize you don’t owe it anything.

"

in the dawn of the coming new year

we both know that nothing from the outside will

help within &

with this knowledge, one can suck on an exhaust pipe &

end it all

oh so quickly,

or find a place within which

when strengthened with the will & the

will alone,

can be more powerful than anything that might

make the attempt on this life that

we have chosen---

this new place that we alone have selected cannot be stolen

it cannot be demanded by anyone

it cannot be touched by the corruption around

it cannot be destroyed by

anyone but ourselves.

 

if you choose to spit on all convention

you alone are liberated

you choose this path for yourself &

you have no regrets---

if you choose to burn all tradition

you begin to write a new history

a new history free of the dirtied & bloodied hands

you begin to breathe again

you begin to smile again

you begin to walk free & powerful where those before have only

slithered on the ground

you begin to demand from this short life what it has tried so long to

demand from you.
