I want
to fly high like a bird
to swim deep like a fish
to flow freely like a river
to wander like a thought
no limits
no ifs
no buts
no yes
no no
to break free
to let go
to fly high
to swim deep
to be me
I am
a prisoner of my own thoughts
limited by my own self
bounded by my own belief
I want
to break free
to let go
to break free
to be me

At last I am visiting your blog as I meant to. You can see I am a night bird too; 1:42 says my laptop clock.
This is a beautiful poem, and I know why it took you nine years to write it. Guess? Because it contains a yearning, a desire that was there all these years and which had not found expression.
As I have written on Caferati, when you write you are a different person, a new being different from your own. You will find that being in some of my short stories, links of which you can find at http://johnpmathew.blogspot.com.
And, oh, before I forget those are nice pictures and even your musings have a lot of potential.
Keep writing!
