Freedom of Thought

Freedom of thought By Michelle Morris 22/04/2023 When people land up in mental institutions When they land up in rehab for addiction When they land up in prison When they land up trapped by life They are all trying to navigate their path However troublesome and challenging it is However rocky and treacherous it seems However debilitating it can often feel People have to make their own choices Whether fighting the system or working it No one who truly engages in living Can leave this existence unscathed Every person has a reason For the meandering of their journey Every person deserves to shine To find happiness in their purpose Whatever our circumstances We always have the power of choice For even in a locked fortress Every person has the freedom of thought © Michelle Morris, 2023
