Angel K Will

behind the shouts and screams is a wounded soul
crying out the only way she knows how

repeating patterns she was taught
fighting hate with hate as an emotional robot

chanting the words she was told to say
hidden chains guiding her day-by-day

to think for oneself is not her norm
she closes her eyes to conform

blindly walking down a mandated path
joined by millions in deception’s wrath

but stop
and choose
a different way

your life is determined
by what you say

think for yourself, ask lots of questions
dig deep until you hear your own intuition

narrow is the path, and it’s an uncomfortable ride
but to venture there will truly satisfy

for your eyes will be opened and you will be Free
different opinions are allowed within this Unity

it’s a breath of fresh air because Love reigns
Peace can be found when you give up your chains
