I Am Free
Clare Jones
When the ghosts of my past whisper to me
I say, „I am free“
I open my eyes and I see pinks, blues, reds and orange
Yellow, purple, turquoise ist my favourite
A world of rich tapestry
When the ghosts of my past shout loudly at me
I say „NO“ firmly
I open my ears and I hear
Birds singing, engines purring, people talking, laughing
I look, I see
The ghosts are not here with me
Leaves falling, children playing, couple arguing, man smoking
When the ghosts feel too close to my skin
I feel
The ground beneath my feet
The breeze touching my face
The warmth of the sun
​
The fabric inside my pocket, against my hand
A touching embrace
​
The ghosts cannot compete
With my power of nature
I see
I hear
I feel
I taste
Delicious distractions
Like honey, smooth and sweet
Bitter chocolate, juicy orange, sugary treat
The ghosts are far away now
I am safe
I see my friends, my colleagues, my family
I am here, now
I am free
I know
The ghosts are ghosts
They are not here now
They cannot hurt me
I am free
