Freedom

What is freedom?
Some say that it's the will to do anything without restraints....
Others say that it's an excuse to escape responsibility....
While I say that it is to be free....

But from what?

Who pays the price of freedom?
Some say that being free from bondage bears no price....
Others say that no one will shelter you afterwards....
While I say that it is eventually granted....

But by who?

Where does freedom come from?
Some say that it comes from the will to be free....
Others say that it is born from chaos....
While I say that finding it can lead you freely....

But to where?

Why do I even desire freedom?
Some say that it's natural to dream about it....
Others say that yearning it is foolish....
While I say that it's too complicated to understand....

But why?

Even if these questions were to be answered
Would they be the solution to gain freedom?
I am a like a canary that yearns to be free despite living in a cage....
Is freedom out of my reach or is there a chance to grasp it?
This is my second poem. I sometimes feel that I'm trapped in life.... I wonder if freedom is worth it?

Oh, I love philosophical poems and poems that make me think! :) This poem really, really makes me think. I loved this stanza in specific:

"Why do I even desire freedom?
Some say that it's natural to dream about it....
Others say that yearning it is foolish....
While I say that it's too complicated to understand...."

:clap: I love the multiple views and then your view, and the emotion put behind it. :)
