Analysis of Unrestricted Spirit
I no longer open doors. I pass right through the wall.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the call.
I no longer tender hurts. I pass right through the pain.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the main.
I no longer lobby truth. I pass right through the veil.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the tale.
I no longer covet wealth. I pass right through the debt.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the let.
I no longer mandate love. I pass right through the hate.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the fate.
I no longer beseech grace. I pass right through the fire.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the dire.
I no longer wonder why. I pass right through the dark.
The unrestricted spirit finds freedom in the stark.
