Believe It Or Not
set me free
from all the rules
you have made
for yourselves
i'm no longer
part of it
i'm no longer
part of it
accept i'm gone
you have no hold
on me anymore
for so many years
you ruled my life
i was scared
i was blind
your traditions
dictated my world
back then
i had no choice
now i have
reclaimed
my life
you can say
what you want
but
you can say
what you want
but
you can't
hurt me
again

Musical Monday... What Moves You?
Believe It or Not by Joey Scarbury
[Theme from TV series "The Greatest American Hero"]
"Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true. "
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true. "

Og Bing you posted an old fave of mine! This is the theme from the TV show Greatest American Hero I have this song on a 45! as in vinyl!!! Just loved it!
Bing,
Your poem and your profile brought me to tears. I too have suffered a loss (I lost my father one year ago November 25 and my mom will be gone two years January 24. They died 10 months apart.) and yet the quote above could not be truer. I feel the nearest to them (or the light) when I am in my darkest moments and feeling the loneliest for them. They were not just my parents but my best friends. Yet, it soothes me a tiny bit to know that they are together. Theirs is a true love story. I thank you for sharing not only your poem but your story. We really do learn from our experiences, don't we? Thank you for sharing yours with all of us and especially me.

I love freedom, and I agree with you!
Thoughtful, as always, Bing. Your life experience and pain add so much depth to your poetry.
The feel of freedom starting life captured in your words, nice poem
A strong and beautiful statement, well said and well written. Well done! :-)
sandee, i'm savoring sweet freedom. thanks for dropping by, my friend. :)
sherry, it feels so good to be free from all rules. right now, my conscience is my guide and that is enough.thanks for dropping by and appreciating my post. :)
very well said, fiveloaf. breaking free from all oppressive, unfair rules/traditions is liberating. i feel so alive now.
thanks for the visit.:)
jessica, i feel so free. thanks for appreciating. :)
booguloo, wow that is exactly how i feel! thanks for the nice words. :)
hi jingle, i'm so sorry to have missed the rally. i was so busy and had to stay away from poetry for awhile. i'm glad i made it to the potluck but i'm afraid i will have to slow down again after this. thanks for your kind words. :)
splendid indeed, sumit. thanks. :)
amanda, i love the song and the series too. i used to have this song on vinyl also but lost it. i'm glad you like my contribution for musical monday. thanks for hosting. :)
cheryl joi, i'm sorry to hear about your twin loss. i understand what you're going through right now. it took me years to get over my depression and crying spells.
it was through blogging that i achieved healing. just keep on writing because it is truly therapeutic.
my thoughts and prayers are with you. thanks for appreciating my blog.
{{{hugsss}}} for you...
thanks, diane :)
victoria (liv2write2day), i am not really a poet and i don't think poetically but yes, it helps that i have emotions and experiences to share which, interestingly, end up sounding like poetry. :D thanks so much for appreciating... as always. :))
dark song, it really feels wonderful to be free. thanks for appreciating the post. :)
susannah, thanks for the kind words. i'm glad that you like my post. thanks! :)
I like the strong attitude that came out with this poem. excellent
Bing, I so enjoyed your poem of achieving your freedom--it's so important when we can live in this way--making our own decisions about our lives.
So I scroll down here to add my comment and see Vivekananda's quote and am surprised. I have a quote by him on my blog too and revere him as a great human being and teacher. It was an added bonus to see this here. Thank you.
Oh yea, Bing... the age of freedom has finally unfurled itself upon us.. yaaayyy!!
Loved your free spirited poem... it sang out beautifully... was musical, and had superb lyrics to it too!!
Well done, girl... Freedom sure smells gooooodd!
xoxoxo
A powerful and entitling write!
I can relate to this poem because I have relatives who enforce their ancient meaningless customs and rituals on me. I hate it when they can't keep their religion to themselves even in their house. I like your poem for its simplicity the most.
Award/Treats 4 Poetic Friends of Jingle, Happy Thursday!
relax yourself..
see you then when you are ready.
arts web show, sometimes we get to that point where Enough is Enough. that was the statement i made here. thanks for appreciating. :)
bodhirose, we get caught up in all those rules that others have imposed that we tend to miss out a lot in life. i have decided to reclaim my life. thanks for appreciating. :)
kavita, thanks for your nice words. :)
thanks, abthomas :)
madhumakhi, it's not easy to break free but you've got to start somewhere. maybe it's time you reclaim your life as well.
thanks for stopping by. :)
jingle, i'm taking things slow here. i hope everyone understands. i have special guests arriving next week (for christmas and new year celebrations) so that will make me extra busy. i miss blogging but right now, it has to take a backseat until after new year.
thanks for being so caring and thoughtful. thanks for never getting tired of cheering me up with your beautiful awards.
love you, girl! {{{hugsss}}}
