irrepressible energy

out of the security of my small little world
I was rudely shaken and woken up
irrepressibly flamed up in me a thrust
to understand myself anew

imprisoned in the chaos of my fear
I had to free myself from my own self
I, so chained as I was to people
had to be free for
he/she–who-is
I, so chained at my roots and crown
