finding freedom in death

Freedom calls out to me, just over the railings. Freedom dances, just out of reach Freedom sings, ”Abandon your jailer, abandon Life Abandon your duty, abandon Life, Jump over the railings, and join me in death.” Desire possesses me, a promise of freedom offered with a heavy price to pay. Behind the railings hide A choice that may cost my life Hesitations hold me back, Ropes of responsibilities restrain, Buried under building burdens. Forced to forfeit my freedom. You have clipped my wings, Cries of desperation pulling me away. I am bound. Trapped. Chained. Won’t you set me free?
