Have You Ever Been Free?

Fighting the closet

& the demons it contains

Wondering about freedom

Wracking your brain


Have you ever been free

& what does that mean?

How can you recognize 

Something you've never seen?


Does freedom exist?

How can it?

Is it true?

How can it be so

If freedom isn't within you?


Our body is a temple

& time our sacrifice

We offer up everything 

To pay the eternal price


Those things we slay 

Are not just things we enjoy

On the alter we lay

That by which we're employed


Every minute we spare

Whether for work or for pleasure

Is one taken from us

So remember what you treasure


Develop a job

Out of things you love to do

So no minute goes to waste

As your skin turns to blue


Things should fall into place 

No thought necessary

No cause for pondering 

Nothing leaving you wary


When you question your future

You're a prisoner in your cell

You'll remain in your case

As long as you continue to dwell


You must learn to let go

Of things you cannot control

Stop running from the past

& using drugs to console


Mistakes have been made

But the future has not 

So stop believing that

Your future is to rot


Make positive choices

Ona a constant basis

& pretty soon 

Your life will be an oasis
