Freedom

No stress,

no anxiety

and no more war.

Freedom finally came knocking on our door.

Before, bodies were weak and thin,

nothing but cuts and scars on our skin.

We never knew what it’s like

to run without boundaries.

We’ve always kept secrets hidden,

safe in our diaries.

Before we felt lost in the cold and the dark.

Freedom gave us a little light,

like a firework starting to spark.

Being free gave us a whole new feeling,

even better than being rich,

or having fame.

It gave us a brand new life,

gave us a totally different name.

We were finally escaping the walls of black and grey,

we were thrilled to leave,

who would want to stay?
