Unbound

There are days when frustration
threatens strangulation
as you struggle to find your place.

Minions of conformity chase you down
telling you this is not the way to be
if you expect to be taken seriously.

Suddenly, you feel your color start to fade
the unique you
panics...

Seeking solace
in the cool, still waters of reflection
where the green of vibrancy

is able to validate its existence
to once again find
strength for resistance,

in its recognition of its "self"
among the envelope of normality
the green against the beige
unbound

Donna was sharing her work with us at The New World Creative Union and offered up some of her wonderful photographs for us word weavers to play with. Truly could not resist this one...though the write needs work yet. It's day 12 of NaPoWriMo...and I'm still in it! Thanks Donna!
