Sharper Lines
Sharper Lines
[The title of this declaration is to celebrate the journey of being a free individual. Free of being tied to a kind of mentality, a judgment, a culture, a religion and a way of life.]
Deviation for long had been the spell that discarded individuals from the fabric of society and considered them nothing more than a stain that ruined their cloth. My world drove me to the departure of my own inner most desires as an individual. I was a ghost suppressing it’s own reflection in order to belong and be accepted.
Through the lens of my society, the line to be walked was blurry one. Defined by the unexplored but reserved notions of pleasure in a dated society and condemning the aspiration of a soul, seeking fulfillment, I submissively gave in.
Since an early age, I always knew I was different. I knew I had to protect my self. I learned to be strong by being silent. I was a survivor with a captive spirit. Taking a chance to open-up would’ve been a gamble to loose grip on the air I walked. My silence turned into solitude. To know me was to not know much at all. This was the price.
As time went on, I turned the solitude that had engulfed my life as means to escape my torment. I began a new life. I was a fugitive looking to buy my own freedom. I meet others. I was never alone. I never was. I found the courage to pursue happiness. People say “what don’t break you, makes you stronger”, but if you ever find yourself broken, this is your chance to rebuild yourself the way you were meant to.
Now at the age of 34, I may not be as strong as I used to. This is because I have chosen to no longer be silent. After healing my soul, my spirit is mighty. I have learned to lift my voice, bare my soul and not live afraid. I’ve found the way to free myself from the demons that kept me from flying.
After removing the lens I was given by my own society, I can see the road to follow. I can see a sharper line to walk upon.
I was never a stain on a cloth. I was a print, that with time, embellished into a unique pattern. This pattern is repeated in the fabric of a whole new society. A society that is proud to show their true colors without the fear of being bleached by the prejudice of ignorance.
