Untethered

Untethered is a poem about the illusion of freedom—the kind that feels weightless, expansive, even intoxicating, until the gravity of purpose is gone. It follows a soul drifting through life like tumbleweed: free from anchors, free from expectations, yet slowly dissolving into directionless dust.

This piece explores the tension between liberation and responsibility, the myth of self-actualization without grounding, and the quiet ache that emerges when meaning is lost in motion.
