Turn the Key
Trapped
stuck
stagnant
as if complaining about not being able to choose
makes it true.
But we only ever lose the power
if we give it away.
Powerlessness
is a choice we can lay aside
for another—
one that unlocks doors
and walks away from the unwanted
in a new direction.
We will not be caged
by these walls
by the system
by expectations
by prejudices
by the past
by fear
by you
by myself.
We turn the key,
we walk out the door,
and we choose which way to turn.
