Rectify
Be more precise
Interact
Then agree
Avoid conflicts.
……
This bliss
Is knocking at my door
Avid to break in
It’s not heaven
But a sweet breeze
It comes gaily
It’s my time to achieve
Some willpower
No discipline
…..
Do I have your permission
To smile
And swing?
To slump
Or even squeeze myself
Into this greed?
…..
Tell me Ms Guilt
Do I have your permission
Not to ask for permission
Can I be less precise
Disagree
Create conflicts?
……
I need to feel
What it is like
To be free
Do all that-whatever
Pleases my will.

Wonderfully figurative poem, Dulce...I love the poetic style you've used, and the marvellous personifications. This is oh so poignant to me as well, given that I'm currently in the midst of my exams. As always, a delight and a joy :)
"I need to feel
What it is like
To be free" Yes to this....!!! ☺
In reality, I can be free even when imprisoned--unless it is the prison I alone have built. (And I have done that.)
Some, in a position of authority, will always require asking of permissions. Again, here is where freedom will show itself.
I am free to accept the acceptable, to reject the unacceptable. But how do I know the difference? THAT is the question! Whence comes wisdom to guide me through the maze?
For myself, it is a Higher Power, which speaks to me almost exclusively through others. Until I become more able to meditate spiritually, I shall depend on those "others" to show me the way, from THEIR experience, strength, and HOPE!
Boy! ANOTHER dammmm "comment-blog" from steveroni...SORRY, Dulce! As always, you can reject.
Take Care!
Of course, good old guilt. I think it is the most limiting of thieves.
It robs us of life.
(Bad) Education (borrowing Almodovar's name of a film. Have you seen it?)
Today the lovely Teacher speaks and how. Every stanza provoked me into a stream of thought.
Splendid to stop by and think, as always.
Joy and love,

I know. I need to feel free, too. And what's wrong with creating conflict? Conflict is good. It allows us to see other facets. I think conflict liberates us, in a way. When we express our difference, we feel like we've broken out of the mold.
And more thoughts, Dulce. As always, with you.
I hope you are enjoying a marvelous Wednesday!
Hugs,

test the waters, conquer your fears, keep the ones you love most beside you, freedom will come.
wonderful post.

Me he ido, si, por fin llegaron mis vacaciones. estaré desconectada por unos días (que faltita me hace). nos vemos a la vuelta, ok? Besos mil!!
I loved it :)
ah, chaos and conflict! my best friends, lady dulce!!! and i've never been one to ask permission -
beautiful piece, still again, lady!!!
have a fabulous day and thanks so much for your visits which mean so much!!!
We tend to imprison ourselves, don't we? Sometimes, it is almost impossible to throw off those shackles...you, my dear, seem such a wonderful free spirit, I can't bear the thought of your being held back in any way.
Wonderful poetry.
