The Dive

I wanted to find freedom To be all by myself To do the things I’d love to do Put nothing on the shelf And then, at last I found her She was awesome, she was fun She took me here and overthrew ‘What worries? I had none!’ I did everything my heart craved for Life was beautiful and cool But then, I started noticing Freedom used me like a tool She became too disrespectful Spoke to me like I was a child I didn’t like her anymore I found her a bit too wild She left me quite exhausted And also unfulfilled I got what I was craving But my longings were not stilled I longed for what I needed So I took another dive But now with a much better goal The true purpose of my life.
