I give it 5 stars



I long to be,
I long to be free.
Free from the everyday perils
Of what awaits;
Free from the fear that hides
Around each corner.
Free to walk
Free to run
Free to just be

I long to be ,
I long to be free.
From the pressure of society -
The prying eyes that are cast
Upon the things that you do,
The eyes that transmit
The disapproval and disdain.

I long to be,
I long to be free.
Of the stereotypes and categories
Everyone is supposed to fit in so neatly;
To be judged and chastised
By people that don’t know me.

I long to be
Free from the pressure,
The burden that rides me.
A burden that I cannot ease...
Weight that I am unable to lift.

I long to live the life that I
Have always dreamt;
The life that I should live,
But just seems so far out of reach.
And with each passing day
Becomes more unattainable.

I long to find direction -
To find the direction I need;
To live the life that I should live
If I knew, what direction to take.
