On Freedom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFGGHIHJ| In a dream I'm no longer in love I breathe deeply this sense of freedom | A |
| and I vow never again to seal myself in but I am reminded it is myself I love | B |
| also and that too is a kind of sealed condition I am committed to taking | C |
| care of my body and its home accommodations its clothes and neat | D |
| appearance that I admire in the mirror yet I would like to know what it | E |
| would be like freed of brushing my teeth washing my neck and face and | F |
| between my toes I'd like to know as I neglect to move my bowels and | F |
| stay away from food that could sustain my health and do not change my | G |
| underwear and let odors rise from my crotch and armpit I stick out my | G |
| tongue at the image in the mirror showing me my ragged beard and sunken | H |
| eyes and hollow cheeks free of my self love at last and I sink onto the | I |
| bathroom floor feeling life begin to seep out of me I who haven't eaten | H |
| since last month I'm dying and I'm free | J |
