Freedom Out There

As I came closer towards the door,
My heart beats faster,
The rhythm of the African drums,
It played in my head,
I broke into cold sweat,
My legs wobbled,
Adrenalin rushing in my veins,
Is this what freedom means?
How it feels like?
The door was ajar,
I peeped through it,
I was amazed at first sight;
And through that door,
I saw the joy of life
How could I have forgotten how wonderful feels like?
I’m so eager to discover more beyond this door,
To learn how to live again,
To breathe again,
To bask in the beauty of life,
To be free, as an uncaged bird,
Soaring through the sky,
And through the rainbow;
At last, new hope is found.
Stepping out that door,
It almost felt like another dimension,
I left my ugly past at the door;
I closed it,
Locked it,
And throw away the key;
Never will it be open again.
