One step
Two steps
I feel
Alright.

I want to go
I must be free
All my life
I've been catching only air.

Once I get there
Things will be alright
Because they
Told me.

They'll be cleared up
My mind won't be muddled
I won't be a slave
No more.

I'll be unbound
Limitations
Invisible
To me.

So I will go
And wonder
What's beyond
That passage there.

Author's Note: This was inspired by what I think a slave might be pondering upon on the subject of "escape".
