I live the way I do, because I do not want to be a part of the system, I do not agree with the government and I know what the health system is like. I know who calls the shots and they do not have our best interests at heart. So I took back control of my life, I became responsible for my health and well being, because I know myself better than anyone else.
I am guided by my inner knowing and the research that I have done, the wisdom that I have gained.
But of late I have found that I am surrounded by those who seem to live as I do, but still have deep ties to the system. This is their choice at the end of the day, even though I do not understand it. But please do not push your ways on to me. I choose to live this way, so that I would not have to conform.
Today I felt a little caged by it all and this is what came out!
Feeling caged, my wings now clipped,
as I pace up and down not knowing which direction I should take,
surrounded by so many who walk blind.
I feel the heaviness they carry around and it stinks me deeper into the ground
and everything I once knew just slips away from me,
I see it slip away
and I know that I cannot reach out and take it back
because it is no longer mine,
Because it never was
it is as if I am dreaming
as though this reality is nothing but a nightmare that I cannot wake up from.
I want nothing more than to wake up from it,
But then I realise that we have been sleepwalking for so long,
Yes some of us have had glimpses of what life could be
some of us have paved our way
And now, now we stand staring into the unknown
I feel the uncertainty and the fear breathing down my neck
I feel their anxiety
Like cold fingers reaching out to pull me back
I see the ties they have
the way that their life is intertwined with the system that is pulling them down,
I do not look back
I keep looking forward
I no longer have the strength to try and make a difference
my strength is now focused on me and my children
On looking forward
always forward because I have paved my way
I made my choice a long time ago,
I chose to live outside of the system I chose to bury my feet in the earth to immerse myself in nature because I know this is where my power lies
that this is my connection,
This is my freedom
This is who I am
green fingered and wild.
