Freedom

I dare not show my discontent
of being locked from life.
My seclusion needs to vent
I think I need a wife.

The thirst for change
and hunger for dancing
I need more range
My soul needs enhancing.

Nobody came looking for me
My heart was feeling pain
I need to swim in open sea
And drink some sweet champagne.

I'm so thankful for being free
My mission is now to sing in glee.
