The wounds of the woman-I

May 23, 2025

Am I free?

I love to think that I was born free.

That I can be free.

I can feel freely and I can think freely.

I love to believe that I am free.

Am I free?

Or are there chains around my ankles?

Or are there big stones tightly pressing upon my feet?

Am I free?

Or are there thoughts that are keeping me stuck?

Or are there emotions that are seizing my body and not allowing me to be?

Am I free?

Or am I drowning?

Or am I burning?

Am I free?

Or I am being a rebel against what they taught me?

Am I free?

Or am I running away from them?

Wait, am I running away from me?

Am I free?
