I Wonder What it Feels Like to be Free
I wonder what it feels like to be free
To have no connection to the world around us
A place of fortune where we can just be
Be ourselves without adversity
Without conflicts or distrust
Broken hearts or financial uncertainty
I wonder what it feels like to be free
Free to live a life we choose ourselves
Without the backlash of other’s that disagree
With no restraints on creativity
Or an already established future on the shelves,
Instead, a blank page full of endless possibility
I wonder what it feels like to be free
Without hurtful words that spread like wild fire
Or the loss of one’s integrity
A life without labels or typical stereotypes
Or malicious actions that expose our secret desires
But with the giving of second chances or life rewrites
We can rewrite our own stories
And give meaning to every interaction
Making the act of love one of our first priorities
Not letting the ugly force ourselves to feel inferior
But opening our hearts to a world of compassion
And mending this susceptible world by taking down the interior
