The Pyle Inside

Glittering snow

Pine trees and candy canes

The soft fluffy insides of my gloves

Skis sliding against the powdery snow

Anticipation, freedom, happiness

This is the best day of my life

I was the diamond in the rough

I was free, I felt at peace, I felt amazing.

In that one moment, I took a breath. I said to myself, “This is what it’s like to be free.”
