I Am Adventure Denied

Folder: 
Antiquated

I am the breaking point of elegance

Misunderstood and fiercely guarded

I am adventure denied

And choked

Smothered within

I am a burning need to be free

To breathe deeply of danger

And smile

I am a passion unkindled

And so unacknowledged

I am the breath

Of an ache to feel

The incarnate, wild

Breaking wind

Contained, kept dangerously safe

Deceptively kind

Perilously calm

And composed

I am the hurt of confinement

I am the reason

To love freedom

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For Cec. I originally wrote this for a piece of art where it wasn't meant really to be legible enough to read, but I saved it, and the more I read it the more it kind of made me think of her - partly now, partly before. I hope she's okay with it...
