Rather Be Free

Poem

Your stare lingers as I pass. I curve a smile, your brow furrows.

What an ass.

I walk on, feeling the scowl through your mask.

Okay whatever, I understand.

Living in a cage is hard.

Especially after you’ve chucked the key.

Some want safety. Certainty at all costs.

Others just want to live free.
