Free

I am free in all the ways you wish you'd be.
I am free to fly and be one with the wind,
Free to unwind and take a dive off a cliff,
Dive into life head first, fist first, and smile
For I, I am immortal, I am unchained.

I am free in all the ways you cannot be,
I am free to love and fight relentlessly,
For it is I that reaps the consequences
Of my lips, it is I who ends up on the ground,
Knife to my throat, until I am found.

I am free in all the ways you will not be,
For I am ready for what comes my way,
I am free to pay my due when they do say
It is my time to go, my time to stay...
But still, it is my choice to play.

I am free in all the ways you'd like to be,
But it is because I'm free that I may bend
The rules and fly, my friend.
