Freedom of Thought
Freedom of thought
By Michelle Morris

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
