Freedom

Maybe in one aspect of your life, you are free.

That could be having a crazy haircut that looks like a tree,
Or wearing capris at age 23.
Dedicating your whole life to studying bumblebees,
Or having a dream job of making pastries.

Could be leaving early out of a party,
Or dancing alone past thirty.
Eating rice with green tea?
Or disappointing everyone and moving by the sea.

Whatever it could be, doing so makes you feel carefree.

But I hope it is not constantly losing reality on LSD,
Or abusing people when drunk on whiskey.
Cheating, for a life of Gucci,
Or being a jerk because you can be.

I hope it is something that doesn’t leave you next day with debris.
In one aspect of your life, may you be free.
