Things on my mind

I've had a number of things on my mind and I felt a sudden urge to write this and share with everyone. This is my first poem ever written:

Mental slavery a dream of hell
I'm trapped, no struggle without rebel
Where is the justice, I cry in shame
You're weak, no power, there's nothing to claim
To break this agreement and live in peace
You must be strong and negative must cease
Rebuke the thoughts that hold us back
Claim your power, seek and attack
We all make mistakes, we stumble and fall
Stop condemnation once and for all
Living in fear, you have no time
Love yourself and free your mind
Be yourself and keep it real
Align yourself and keep that deal
You're peace, and harmony, joy and love
Emancipate yourself says the Universe above
I'm living in freedom, a heaven state
I've abolished mental slavery and I feel great!

-----
Pleased with yourself for freeing yourself after seeing yourself in a world by yourself not knowing yourself to question yourself about yourself that enslaves YOU. --Mutabaruka

Peace Queen

Greetings. Thanks for accepting my request :) I'm in the process of creating a vlog for the 20 Things I wish I knew before going Natural, and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to use your profile picture as one of my 20 Inspirations that I would like to include in the vlog.
