Freedom

Submitted on Jan 22, 2026 by  Lynette Trawick

Freedom
It's a concept that varies from human to human. 
However, in this moment, freedom is the expression of me being able to let go of a concept of myself I previously held on to for fear of judgment. 
No one caged me in or put me in a box...I put myself there. Cuffed myself to what I thought others wanted to see instead of growing into what was supposed to be.
But, no more. It's time to be free.
It's time to be me.
It's time to let go of what was and grow into what will be.
