Freedom

.thumbprintpoetry.

still the want is more,

can you say you know,

just how unpacked are you.

we all have our bars,

constructed by our own hands the hardest to overcome.

we struggle against those imposed upon us,

only up in arms to horrendous injustice.

There is no news when you hold yourself in bondage,

resigned to the fact that’s just the way it is.

We give up control.

We just get stuck.

We pride ourselves in just making the best of it.

How we delude and justify,

And dream and fear a future that is not set or secure.

Some stay in bad situations just to avoid insecurity.

Bad is not always obvious especially if it is of our own design,

We can not move forward until there is a place to move,

It is a life traffic jam

And if you are not happy with where you are,

Find the courage to change.

Trust the value of this development.

Freedom is a choice that we forget to choose

For the most we find change scary,

But for some like me,

The lack of character finds the lazy.
