Freedom

Freedom is a concept I think about often.

A concept I don't really understand.

Yes, we have it.

But it often feels like we don't.

How am I supposed to see how free I truly am, when I just feel trapped?

Trapped in a world that claims I'm free.

Trapped in a world that carves me into pieces.

Trapped in a world where I have to smile, have to be "The Little Ball of Sunshine."

I do try to feel free.

But I just feel trapped.

  • Death's Door

    When someone is sick, we say they're on Death's doorstep.

    But aren't we always?

    People always act like we're so far away from death.

    But really we're not.

  • Me

    Who am I?

    I don’t even know anymore.

    I’ve shed the person I once was in favor of a new one.

    Yet, I’m still that person.

    I’m both at once and neither.

    So who am I?
