I Want to Break Free...

I kept the TV off all day, stashed the phone and sat with silence today.  There was a faint feeling of agitation in me that I couldn't understand or describe.  I felt ready to pop.

The house was as silent as it was going to be.  Next door I could hear my brother's television.  

I wanted to be alone in a forrest.  Alone in the deep woods with the damp Earth beneath my feet. Free to get lost.  Free, that's something I haven't felt in as long as I could remember.  

I thought back to Arkansas and Mullberry Mountain, that's the last time I truly felt free.  I want to feel that way again.
