Freedoms?

If I have freedom of religion,

Why am I ostracized for my beliefs?

Why do people argue with me?

And try to sway me to their side

When I say I do not believe in God.

If I have a freedom of speech,

Why am I told to hold my tongue?

Why am I silenced when I try to voice my thoughts?

Why do those around me undermine my attempts?

If I have the freedom that so many live without,

Why do I still feel trapped?

Why does it seem that those freedoms are not guaranteed?

Why does it seem that those freedoms are not for me?
