Analysis of What is the true definition of freedom?
Some days I sit by myself and let my mind linger on what it means to truly be free.
Is it...
To go wherever, whenever?
To not be bound by chains or fears?
To let them see you are more than you appear?
To not be tied down by certain bonds
To talk back when they talk down on us?
To do things against the norm?
What is the true definition of freedom?
Is it...
To go away from one's family?
To fight for equality?
To go beyond limits?
To do as we please?
To know what peace is?
To not be broken into pieces by the strain of having to remove the chains to attain liberty?
It seems freedom goes beyond all these (sigh)
Can one truly be free?
What is the true definition of freedom?
