Deal

And the witch doctor handed her a bottle of potion.

She was to drink it
to be able to stand on her beautiful feet,
dance, stroll and wander down the streets,

and in return,

the monthly payment
of what is most important,

her independence.

But what are legs, without independence?
When you walk every step, with strings attached.

And what is beauty, without pride?
when you allow yourself at the mercy of someone else.

She yearned to dance in the wind,
but not without freedom within.

So out where she enter,
she jumped in the river,

and without looking back,
she began to swim again.

It's not an easy choice. But she is in the right path.

something in my life evokes this.

but does not matter what i'm talking about really. it is what you think it is. :)

we all go through this at some point in life, i guess.
