Almost Free
I’m so close to the end.
I dread,
and dread,
and I agonizingly dreaded
to go to that school
all these years.
Funny how you only realize,
that you shouldn’t have have taken something
for granted right as it’s about to
expire.
I’m almost free.
But the problem also is that…
I’m almost free.
Free.
Freedom.
Is not always good.
Freedom can mean finally escaping prison on an island,
but freedom can also mean saying goodbye
to your daily meals.
And your cell.
And hello to cold, deep, drown-able waters.
Freedom is very scary and frightening.
And I’m almost there.
Almost.
Free.
I’ve got time.
