No Freedom

I don't believe in Freedom.
Because even when I am free,
I don't have the freedom to show,
that other side of me.
I don't want to feel freedom.
Because if I feel that alive,
when it get's taken away from me,
it will leave a hold inside.
And what is freedom anyways?
If we can do what we want?
Because it's only when they catch us,
when it is free that we are not.
They say that we have freedom,
and if that thought may be...
why don't I feel I've got the right,
to say that I am Free?

You can enjoy the freedom to go out without wearing a scarf in a specified manner, but freedom to express what is on your mind is quite a different matter! Check out Soup censorship! Aloha!
