free

dumb

freeing from dumb

cultivate mind

free

self

free to be free

to be me

myself

free to read, learn, become more

what is freedom?

to one it could be free from violence

free healthcare

free education

free speech

to another it could be

the unleashing of the past

letting go, moving on

free

could be defining my rights to speak

as woman

as me

to another it could be

free from incarceration

to another leaving

leaving him

alone, with nothing but his belt

free

to

me

means a place where i feel

i am my own person

no one dictating what free should mean

not imprisoning me for standing up

for my rights

as

free citizen

freeing myself from dumb

the dumbing down of culture

pissing on our future

our education

our poor

our homeless

out elders

our natives

free to some

free to me

freedom is democracy after all

i want one

free from numb
