Freed Raven

She hustled three jobs in high school to survive. Her home cost too much to stay alive.

She moved to a city with no roots -just hope in her heart and holes in her boots.

Living in Charm City is where she felt free. A small city energy with tight community.

For the first time ever, she is a freed Raven -not surviving but thriving in a Baltimore haven.

Her heart and her mind may be built on the grind but a freed raven knows that she must leave this world behind.

A freed Raven realizes that all the work she has done has allowed her to live with less stress to overcome.

I am the freed raven-this I am sure.

I will fear this old way of being nevermore, nevermore.
