The Road To Freedom Poem by Dianna Nally

The road to freedom is a long road
With many obstacles along the way.
There will be different routes, and lots of turns
So just take it day by day.

Sometimes you may come upon dead ends
Don't give up, just change directions.
Read the signs and ask for help
And only then will you make your connection.

Once your way of life is determined
Your future can be sought.
Is your future the road to freedom?
For some it might be. For others it may not.

As you end your twelve years of schooling
You may think that this is freedom
But little did you know that beyond those double doors
You will enter the challenge of men and women.

It's time to decide how you want to
Spend the rest of your life
Should you go to college and get your degree
Before you commit your selfs to being husbands and wives?

You have the choice of many roads to take
There's the road that leads to a career.
And although you thought your school days were over
To have a career means going back for a few more years.

Another road that you may take is the road
to relationships.
And when I ask people what their advice would be,
They say take it slow, and keep your wits.

The decisions you make will be yours alone
You have to live with whatever you become
You can be responsible, it's not that hard
To be mature and still have fun.
