Tiger's Book of poetry - 20. Poem 20: Freedom


I may not be perfect yet I am real and growing stronger



I am free to spread my wings and soar beyond the horizon



The time in the pit of despair reminds me of scars



No longer will I allow myself to be weak



 



I may not be the strongest I have ever been yet I know



I am free to seek a life beyond the darkness of agony



The time of torture only feeds my resolve to live



No longer will it determine the course of my days



 



I may not be a saint yet I am kind-hearted and gentle



I am free to help others and raise my head without regret



The times in my life of being a victim make me wiser



No longer will it impair me or make me feel weak



 



I may not be a martyr yet I yearn to make a difference



I am free to be the man who helps those in need



The time of despair has taught me great patience



No longer will I be helpless for I am perseverant
