When You Wish for Freedom
Oh! so you think this is freedom?
Do you really believe this to be the truth?
Safe in haven, not knowing pain
Gratitude nor patience
For the ones who maim.
Protective ones
becoming your cane,
Offering a shade
In the lightest of rain
Numb in comforts,
Dazed by youth
I smile at the naivety of your claim
Careful when you wish for freedom
Careful when you seek the truth
Freedom is not for faint hearted
Truth is not a cozy booth
Burning you down to ashes and dust
Rises the phoenix stronger and tough
Freedom is sweeter than an apple on a tree
Truth is deeper than what you want it to be
Starting from scratch, rejecting ideas so rough
Ego in a cage, desires in a cuff
You must tame the brute
Stroke the mane long enough
Emerge from the soot
Triumphant and buff.
Prepare to wave goodbye
To old beliefs and faith
Yanked out, bare and dry
Of the lies in which you bathe
Owning, attached, belonging to none
Paving your way towards the One
The ultimate truth,
The real freedom.
