The Freedom Question

I walk barefoot always to leave
tracks so someone may find me,
unwind me from the blue chaos
that minds me.

I walk with my head up always,
searching for clarity, for meaning,
for love (that shit’s deceiving),

ways to feel
and not feel,
ways to deal
and not deal.

Where do I fit in in this whirlwind world?
Why am I who I am and not who I’m not?
Is my fate written in the stars?
Does it swim in the clear blue sea?
Who is me? Who is we?
Am I free?
Can I be?

I'm a young writer -- 24 years old. Writing grounds me and helps me make sense of my own feelings and actions. The world is a cyclical place. Everything is relatable. Every situation has the capacity to be examined from a different angle. I hope someone (anyone) finds some solace in my words. I think that's all any of us really hopes for.
