My thoughts on freedom...

Sitting in a lawn was I,
When blue had filled up the sky,
Green grass swaying there head,
The happiness to my mind they fed.

Colorful flowers had grown like river Nile,
Sun had shown his face for a while,
Something colorful passed me by,
I guessed it should be butterfly.

I then wondered if I was a butterfly,
Could I fly high?
No one to question me why,
Tasting nectar, see the flowers feel shy.

However no fly want to be me,
Bounded by numerous barriers you see,
Always follow the dominant are we,
Rather can we make our own path? Can’t we?

Not what others want me to be?
Why can’t we just be we?
Why can’t I be me?
I just want to be me.
