The Only True Freedom We Have

There is only one true freedom we have in this world That is not hindered by the Time and Place of our Birth, Our Religious Beliefs, Family circumstances , Or even the dictates of the regime we reside under. We can try, And keep on trying as long as we have a breath left in our body, We are free to try and be kind, In the most adverse circumstances, We are free to try and make a better world, If not for ourselves, then for those yet to come, We are free to try out new things, And free to try standing on our own two feet. It is only in the knowing that we tried, That we can call ourselves truly free, And shout from the roof tops, That by our own standard our life has been worthwhile, Then no opinions to the contrary, Will hold any sway, And we can be truly content, Within our own skins, And hopefully have made some lifelong friends along the way.
