i am.

i dream big of freedom,
but never from you.

we were flying, us against the world,
we were happy, we knew what to do.

then one day, you lost your wings,
you fell down, fell out of love.

frantic, i flew down with you.

guess who’s the fool.

gone.

so many mistakes, all i want to take back.
bury it six feet under, let the amnesia hit me.

but as much as i want to, i cannot.
as selfish as it sounds, i want to escape.

disappear without a trace.

Freedom.

What is freedom?

What is the feeling of being free?

A state that’s too good to achieve. A state wherein we can finally be ourselves. Be who we want to be, without limitations. The euphoric feeling of being you, with no fear of judgement from others.

Have you ever obtained freedom?

Have you ever done anything to attain the said matter?

Freedom is the quality or state of being free. Being free means that you are not held back. Nothing can hold you back, except yourself.

Do you consider yourself as free? Have you given yourself the freedom that you need in order to be yourself and to do what ever you want?

Most people are chained and imprisoned by their own thoughts and others’ words. They’re too afraid to take action to obtain what they want.

They’re also too afraid to be themselves.

For me, being brave is being free. I salute the people strong enough to do what they actually want in their lives. I’ve wished for the kind of freedom too many times, but my thoughts shackled me inside my own mind, keeping me in the darkness that’s slowly consuming me.

Everyone wants to be free. I’m sure of it. I mean, who doesn’t? Imagine a world where you can do what ever you want, go wherever you go, and love whoever you want to love. No limitations, whatsoever.

It’s my own utopia. My dream world. My happy place.

We should stop being too afraid. I know that there are risks, but we should learn to live our life and start taking those risks. Do what we want. Love what we actually have. Finally be content with the life we got.

After all, we choose our path. We choose the decisions we make, not the others. They don’t live your life. You do. Do what makes you happy, and you will achieve the life you want.

To all the readers out there, try to get out of your shell. You won’t achieve anything if you’re too cooped up in your place. You don’t have to limit yourself to the things that you’re passionate about. It’s your life. Make it worth living. Make the most out of your time and create memories that will last forever. Don’t trap yourself in the depths of overthinking. I assure you, it’s all going to be worth it in the end.

Trust me.
