Freedom

People think life is easy
honestly that thought makes me queasy.
All of the pressures to do well
sometimes it makes life, a living hell.
They say life is full of opportunity 
If you can escape from their scrutiny.
The world tries to make you seem small,
But if somehow you escape from their prison walls.
Then the world is yours
Just be sure you close the doors. 
For if left open they could cause a draft
and help sink your freedom raft.
for even though it has wings
a draft is all the world needs
to bring you back onto your knees. 
The world will try and pull you down
and bring you back to the world a frown.
It'll knock you off your raft of freedom
for even though it is small
with it you can do all 
and there is nothing you can do
to stop the world
So close those doors
and the world can belong to you
My friends please do not be scared 
and venture from those walls if you dared.
For beyond those walls freedom rings
and you can escape the reign of evil kings.
Try oh try to become free
do this please just not for me
become free if you want to
it's not for me. it's for you.
Let freedom ring tried and true
not for me, but for you
