When the Smoke Settled I was the only one with the Gun
Today
my day
to do
anything
I wanted
this
new
freedom
from
rules
and
refinement
and
being
regulated
under
someone
else’s
thumb
They no
longer
held
a gun
to
my
to my
head
they no
longer
got
to decide
what
I did
today
or
how
I
did it
there
was
no
judgement
just
freedom
A feeling
that
took
sometime
to get
comfortable
with
and
was
certainly
one
that I
wasn’t
going
to waste
or
take
for granted
It was
a priviledge
not
given
to many
by choice
to have
no agenda
to
have
no
rules
to
have
complete
control
myself
on
how
I would
live for
today
I could
feel
in my
heart
a growing
urge
as I
felt
the sunshine
gleaming
through
my windows
to go
connect
with nature
To perhaps
take me
beautiful
girl
out
to appreciate
this day
as
well
while we
walked
and
breathed
in the
beauty
of life
and smiled
Then
maybe
I would
go
alone
to the
lake
and
walk
along
its
shore
looking
for
treasures
it might
allow me
to take
away
to take
with
me
Yes
that sounded
alright
with
me
and
like
a great
plan
if any
to start
this
day
off raw
and
free
by giving
my
appreciation
back
to it
Well
there
is no
time
to waste
off
I go
don’t
worry
I’ll
share
all the
secrets
I find
with
you
again
very
soon
again...
