Free

I laugh and sit back.

Relaxed like nothing in this world can bother me.

I smile and push my hair back.

Gazing...
amazing is how I feel.

Undiluted.

Strong and with zeal this moment makes me feel.

Decisive and reconditioned to believe I can be this strong without someone to lean on.

I stand and twirl,
arms out to feel cool stress-free air.

Laughing and inwardly dancing,
I am burbling, titillating.

Life ahead of me beatific.

Just like I always saw joy could be.
