Eureka! Freedom

I thought
Nobody could see my mind
I thought
Freedom is in my thoughts.

Thoughts 
I held them for me,
protected.
Then in that silence
I drowned.

I came up
swimming
screaming.

Eureka!
​
My body
is what they cannot control,
my actions.

My freedom was locked in thoughts
And the key was being out,
with my body.
In action
I rose.

I learned
Freedom 
was in doing,
with my body
for my body
of which my mind was a part.

Eureka!
