Am free, yet am not
I look straight to the mirror
I saw a man looks exactly like me
A man who has fought and won his freedom
A man who has gone through chains
A man who has gone through hard labours
But when I join the real world
Never knew is a world of pain and sorrows
Never knew is a world full of deceits
I always thought about my days as a slave
Been chained and feed all day
But I can't go back as a slave
Am free,yet I can't breath without fighting for air
Am free, yet I can't eat  foods worth eating
Am free yet I can't do things worth doing
Am free yet I go to places worth going
Sometimes I think being chained and feed all day is better than to being a free man
In these wicked world
Freedoms come only when u stop breathing
Freedoms only exist in the world of fantasies
Am free, yet am not
