The Familiar

We need something

We aren't afraid 
 of

We need something

We can hold onto

All of this 
 life's
   consequence

Weighs heavy
  on the brain

Change is good

But change
 is hard

Necessity outweighs
 comfort

Freedom isn't free
  It takes work

And our last
  breath

Should Always
   
       Be

      Free
