Freedom For All
Birds can fly because they are free
The same cannot be said for me
I just want to spread my wings too
Not always an easy thing to do
I only want to be myself
And put my worries on the shelf
If you are different in any way
Some people think that’s not okay
Freedom comes in many forms
It’s hard to be free if you don’t fit the norm
People strive for freedom of speech
Sometimes that is out of reach
People want freedom to be who they are
That door is only slightly ajar
So near and yet so far
Some freedoms are not on par
I feel free on certain days
Other times freedom feels far away
There’s freedom in the poems I write
A light for me that shines so bright
When I write a song, I feel free too
Writing is what I love to do
Freedom can mean many things
Reach for the feeling that it brings.
