What is freedom if we don’t laugh
What is freedom if we find that
Where we are we don’t belong
What is freedom if we don’t dance
to the melody, to the songs, to
the drum
What is freedom if music cannot
Make our heart thump
What is freedom if we are not
Allowed to truly love
What is freedom if we find
That we can’t smile
What is freedom when we
Refuse to show affection
What is freedom when our
Eyes seem cold and distant
What is freedom without you
And I to love.
~ Empress M.
