Free Your Mind

The energy of me is of that which is free,
Some might say I am kind of gutsy

I am free in my heart and free in my speech,
Freedom from my mind is almost at reach

As I grow, so do you, for we are all one
I could live in my sins, but they can't be undone

To forgive myself for being me is what I am learning instead,
If I focus on my flaws, I forget about the love I can spread

Spreading that love is what I came here to do,
If I see the divine in myself, I can see it in you too.

So I will start with being kind to my own growing mind,
A small step for me, a giant leap for mankind.

-Sara Amanda Martin

I thought the words were everyone else,
Until I heard the voice inside myself

The more I look, the more I find
All I crave is peace of mind

From the thoughts I think, to the words I say
I could leave or I could stay

I want to grow, I want to learn
but these demons are at every turn

I have no choice but to move ahead,
but the very thought makes me feel dead

The life I live is all I know,
I feel I have so far to go.

But something burns inside of me,
the part that remembers what it was to be free

For I have felt it once before,
I was born like that I'm sure.
