I can never be free as a bird,
The need for living would lead my flight.
I can never be free as a cloud,
The wind would lead me in the direction it flows.
I can never be free as a human,
Bound by the ethics, responsibilities, rules, laws.
I can never be free in my mind,
My experiences and opinions and agendas running my life
I can never be free in my imagination,
Desires of how things should be,
The things I want, would weigh me down.
In these words I am never free,
For the limit of my freedom lies in my free will,
It is whatever I want it to be.
Now I am Free.

I can never be free as a bird,
The need for living would lead my flight.
I can never be free as a cloud,
The wind would lead me in the direction it flows.
I can never be free as a human,
Bound by the ethics, responsibilities, rules, laws.
I can never be free in my mind,
My experiences and opinions and agendas running my life
I can never be free in my imagination,
Desires of how things should be,
The things I want, would weigh me down.
In these words I am never free,
For the limit of my freedom lies in my free will,
It is whatever I want it to be.
Now I am Free.
Another one of my earlier ideas I realized as I grew.
