Freedom

everybody wants freedom right?
but nobody truely values freedom
like they always say,
freedom is valued only when you
fight for it.

free of control, students become delinquents
free of financial woes, the rich never save
free of burden, the people get lazy

when will humans learn to stop enslaving
themselves by countless amount of fear?
to be truely free, we must free ourselves.

this freedom, can never be attained by force
we cannot fight for this.
unless of course, you describe it as fighting
against yourself.
many days in our lives, we find ourselves
not knowing what to do.
yet when given something to do, we will
complain about the workload,
we are never satisfied with freedom
nor were we satisfied with commitments

yet sometimes, people seem to look down
upon us when we try our best to fit in.
we conform to people's expectations of us
just to have friends
but then, we forget ourselves.

we are enslaved by the desire for company,
companionship. so what if we were alone?
if we can hold our heads high, we are free
from the social norm and lies that we
made ourselves to be, to conform is not exactly
a smart choice because one day, you'd fall,
fall into depression with both legs in the abyss
instead of the usual one leg in the abyss and
the other in dreams
