No Love Without Freedom

We both lost our way
We both did stray
We both did change
But we stayed put in our cage

We both found a way
To make hate go away
Cause we both did change
And we unlocked our cage

We both did mistakes
And drowned in loveless lakes
We became strangers in our home
And our hearts turned to chrome

We are both trying to forgive our mistakes
And let go of all the heartaches
Leaving the past in our old home
But separately we start to roam

We smothered each other with what we vowed
And by tides of anger our love was plowed
Refused to see the change
Till love was out of range

We broke free from the vows made by people we no longer know
Not starting over cause our roles ended in this show
Two new people who might meet again some day
"No love without freedom" is what we finally realized just before we went our separate ways

----------------------
"No love without Freedom" in title and end of the poem is from the song "No Freedom" by Dido (beautiful song if you like Dido)

You Can Try

You can try to reach me and shout my name really loud. But am almost touching the clouds. And I am not gonna look down. I waited for you to start together but in your tears we both drowned.

I wonder if things will ever change From this state of deranged I am in When we drifted apart And created our own paths To discover ourselves And eventually engulf each other in our...

Anger

Anger consumes us all in one way or another, Some are totally engulfed by it, Some treat it as an unwelcome brother; It can spur us on, Give us a encouraging kick, It can also get us into fights...

Solid Stone At Home

Once in a while, too soon. I need to head for the moon. You always bring me back down. Broken, heart bleeding upon solid ground. I just need to get away. Gather my thoughts my own way.

This Is Love.

Love doesn't just happen, it grows. It's like a ball of plasticine that you have to shape and mould and take apart and put back together.

Changing Tides (I Need You)

Waiting. But I think time is standing still. I'm dreaming. Yet I seem to wake up unfulfilled. I fear the unknown. But can't wait till it's shown. Should I take those first steps.

This is sad yet beautiful. A lovely write Sarah. 😘✨

@yikici really ?? But might be some little tiny bit of hope in it 😊 glad u liked it and thank u for rp 😘😘

@evilfingerz thanks for rp 😘

@sarahgamal yeah, there is hope in it, but it made me sad -maybe cause it reminded me of something I've lived through. 😔😘✨

@yikici Awww am sorry .. Living it now but with kids in equation I sometimes doubt myself😔 sending you a big squeezy hug and sharing my bag of m&m (and that's big cause I usually don't share food) 💪💪💪💪

@sarahgamal oh I love m&m's ☺ thank you for the lovely thought. It was a long time ago, memories just hurt sometimes. humungous hugs for you, that must be doubly hard with children in the equation; we (my sisters and I) witnessed difficulties in our home prior our parents divorcing, so I know how difficult that can be. 😔😘💐✨

Lovely stuff Sarah ❤❤❤😘😘👍

Great write Sarah👏👏😘

@yikici yeah same here but we already did the divorce part.. Just sometimes u wonder if it was the right thing or was it a selfish act... We'll see he is leaving country next week either distance will do us good or ease my mind so all good. Thank u 😘

@leelee101 thanks lee and kisses for rp 😘😘

@Stablish thanks Paul . And where have u been???? Kisses for rp 😘😘

@sarahgamal oh honey, I hope whatever it is it will atleast give you a peace of mind. hugs 😘

@sammielee46 thank u for rp 😘😘

@sarahgamal Just busy round the house and catching up on some well overdue me time. I feel really good for it, I'm still really busy but I can only stay away from opuss for so long. Also I've been really struggling creatively at the moment, that hasn't helped things. I can feel it coming back though so that's good I suppose. I just need to find a job with different hours now, 2pm till 10pm is really starting to annoy me now. It's really awkward hours and you don't get any real life. I should be about more often hopefully, it's just I've got a lot of time and space to myself just recently and I'm really enjoying it, it's not like I don't like company but this is the end of a mad few years with way too much going on, so I'm just re-discovering myself if you will, after years of not really being able to be myself or relax. Hopefully some of that made sense lol, I got carried away a bit. Thanks for taking the time to ask, I hope you're been well✨✨😘

@Stablish well some me time sounds great to me... Very odd working hours I agree that doesn't leave u much to do after work, does it? Hope u will find something with better working hours and enjoy ur "me" time 😘

@patdolan83 and @freezay thank u both for rp😘😘
