Freedom does not mean free from consequences. Freedom doesn't exactly have a definition.
It's when you sneak away for those few hours and let everything go.
When you're running through the parking lot to a strangers car, hoping no one sees you.
Not having a care in the world and driving with the windows down.
It's the way the smell of cigarettes lingers in your clothes while you sit in the dark.
It's falling asleep on a stranger while discussing old music.
It's the feeling you have before reality kicks back in.

I never knew freedom
Quite like this
I only knew cages, bars and traps
I only knew wishing wishing that I'd have escape
Counting down days hours
I only knew I wanted more more more
Than her words tearing me inside out and down down down in despair and desperation to claw out
I only knew I deserved better
I curled in my window frame, legs swinging, watching the ants go by and that was my life, locked with bars and chains and traps
Sad, sad little girl
Broke free, ran so fast I was free in an instant&
I never knew freedom quite like this.
I don't even remember who that little girl is but I'll never forget.

Freedom comes
Not through choice!
Freedom comes
From having a voice.
Not to say,
Now I can choose!
But to say,
With choice I loose.
It's all the same -
You have not chosen.
It's all same -
You have awoken!

an eagle riding the bursts of wind
a boat sailing across the sea
running wild through wildflowers
just letting it be
daring to be yourself no matter what others may think
living life openly without one blink
freedom

In this story,
I don't want to be the princess,
I don't want to be saved by a prince in shining armor.
I want to be the person saving you,
and in turn,
saving myself.
