FREEDOM

 I never thought I could ever be free,

 Or would have had freedom in my life.

My inner soul has yearned for it since.

You are probably glancing at why I long for it. 


The world deprived me of my father’s love,

Being guided by my mother. 

Should I say she was obsessed with me. 

Every child played in the sun and sand.

I, only me was deprived of such privilege 


I thought I could be free from her clingy obsessions.

Decided not to go further into higher education.

Instead, summon me to work far from home. 

I do not hate her, I just don’t like how she made me.

She is still the woman who gave birth to me.


I still come home every day after work. 

I admitted freedom is on the way. 

Of course, freedom is on the way.

I had said I had given up on education.

Never did I give up, education is always the way.

I learned a lesson after working in the world.


Opportunity comes but once, I finally got admitted

I got admitted into my dream university outside 

All I say is thank you freedom for coming to save me 

 Freedom, you made my life a memorable one

Thank you freedom, now I feel gratified in my life.
