Intro
You asked me do i want to be happy.
You asked me do i want to b free.
Most people find this to be rhetorical.
Right now Mr. Cole happiness seems unattainable.
The only freedom i am familiar with is restraint.
My only goal is to feel what seems to b so unfamiliar.
As you said
Free from pain, bills, scars, free to sing from the same sad metronome.
Something that is so fictional attains so much power.
I want to be able to wake up without the tears from my mom rolling down my face from her worrying about her child.
I want to be able to sing songs of accomplishments instead of just songs of money.
I want to be able to live in a world of brother and sister hood instead of competition and death.
I want to be past happy and past free but there is no word in the English dictionary that allows me to express what it is.
But for now, I just want to be intro.
