I feel a poem coming on

What does freedom mean to you?

I’ve never had freedom. Not to think for myself as a child, not to be myself, not to do what I wanted to do. I’ve had loneliness and isolation but never freedom.

I tried to help myself, I wanted to go to university when I was young and I never intended to return back home to live. My parents got me a low paid job instead. Because I never got that degree I was never taken seriously for roles I knew I could do.

Because I wasn’t taught to think for myself, I didn’t have initiative. When I finally went to uni they told the mature students that we came from a time when initiative was not taught and we didn’t have it. We all disagreed.

Two weeks later we were sitting around the table in the refectory, clutching our hot drinks for comfort, slightly shocked to realise that we had no initiative at all. Boy was it fun encountering it at a more rebellious age, it opened up a whole new aspect of us as people.

So did having something to love, in my case.

Cry Freedom

I was alone
A prisoner of my thoughts
Trapped in other peoples’ lives

I dare not think
I dare not question
I dare not even wonder who I was

I had been told 
Why think? 
I would only be ‘corrected’

I was too tired to think anyway

Then you came along
And I found me
In my love for you

People still ganged up on me
Bullied me
Told me I was wrong

I didn’t care
Because finally I had the freedom
To be the person I needed to be

The freedom to love
It opens the windows
And draws in the light

At last you can see
And feel
And laugh because

You have the most glorious thing
It comes from you
It is of you
And no one can ever take it away

It is what you are
And it can never be wrong

Love truly changes everything!

Be love

And you will always have freedom.

Best love

Amorah – Deb

The start of unconditional love!

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
