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.
