Longing
I long to return
To where I call home,
A place of freedom
A longing for freedom.
Questions never asked
Love never ceased, but yet never tamed.
The longing to be untouchable again.
Never having to reach out again.
Never lied to.
A longing for the four walls that protect this heart
Never to be scared, cheated, beaten
Or battered again.
A longing for the fields in which I once ran.
But mainly the longing for me to be me.
A free heart once again.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
