The Way To Break Free

We are all trapped 
inside our fragile forms
Bodies which are prone to disease and death
Our souls yearn to break free 
Perhaps - just perhaps 
Those souls will ascend 
After we are finished with this mortal coil 
Our spirits will break free 
once the outer shell has been broken 
The years bring pain and suffering 
Tend to your soul!
It will be your salvation 
and will allow you to leave this physical world
Ascend upwards 
So be careful, friends 
Not to cast your yearnings aside 
For the soul needs careful attention 
If it is card for then life can continue 
in a decent fashion 
Beauty is skin deep 
But metaphysical beauty 
lasts FOREVER

freedom is often choice and just being in control of ideas and emotions to set us in the correct motion with correct notions.
