Free

I strive to be heard

And not to be rendered absurd

I strive to say

Whatever it is that I cannot convey in an essay

I strive to know

So I can turn not into someone below

I strive to learn

Things I have not yet discern and cannot yearn

I strive to live

For I am not content with what they are able to give

I want to be free

And not work my way just to acquire an academic degree

Because I deserve a life I have yet to fulfill

Yet how can I when I cannot feel my own free will.
