Become Free

Sometimes I want to soar like a silver tipped bird into a silky blue sky, singing with the soft sounds of the wind.

Echoes ring in my ears, the sweet sound of my destiny that is to follow.

I’d like to spread my wings to the farthest gates of the earth, pushing off this dry land in escape from this path I have taken too long.

I will wander into a land of bliss looking into the future for hope and contemplating my past mistakes, a haze that hangs in my eyes.

I will roam the skies with all my might and everything will flow seamlessly together.

I will fly to the beat of the wind and the birds will be my orchestra.

I will spread my wings into a canvas of time and become free.

  1. Dear Suzannah,

    Your poem ” Become Free” was very meaningful and
    I could really relate to it. One sentence you wrote that really stood out to me was”I will fly to the beat of the wind and the birds will be my orchestra.” I think this quote was very expressive and paints a picture in my head. I hope to read more from you.

  2. Dear Suzannah,

    I really enjoyed reading your poem “Become free.” I thought it was very creative and very inspiring. My favorite quote from your poem would have to be, “I will fly to the beat of the wind and the birds will be my orchestra.” Like the rest of the poem it was inspiring and it sounded beautiful. The mood of the poem was very heart lifting, because this poem is about flying high with hope and harmony. I thought your poem will reach out to many people, so I made a blog about it.

  3. I really enjoyed your poem Becoming Free. I interpreted it as a poem about making changes and exploring new things, and i can realate to that sometimes.

    One line that really stood out to me was “Sometimes I want to soar like a silver tipped bird into a silky blue sky, singing with the soft sounds of the wind.” I can really visualize whats happening in that phrase. Another line that i liked was “I’d like to spread my wings to the farthest gates of the earth, pushing off this dry land in escape from this path I have taken too long.” This verse shows that she wants to make changes in her life, and “spread her wings”.

    Thank you Suzannah, i can’t wait to hear more from you because this poem was really great!

  5. I really like this poem because it is real creative. If I am correct this poem is talking about her life and how she wants it just to fall in the right tracks by itself. for example when Suzanna say “I will roam the skies with all my might and everything will flow seamlessly together”. Also I enjoyed the flow of the poem, even though the paom doesn’t rhyme it still has a cool flow to it. I think that you should keep writing poems because this was really enjoyable

  6. I thought this poem was very well written. I can realate the feeling you fealt in this poem. i liked how you were talking about your life and how you wanted to be free and you used birds in the poem which i liked because birds are the symbol of freedom i believe. kep on writing poems they ar very cool!

  7. your poem “become free” is a very wonderful poem. it is one of the best poems i have read so far and the fact that someone around my age wrote it is so amazing so keep up the good work
