How free are you, my friend?
Are you as free as a bird in the sky,
Or are you bound by chains unseen to the eye?
Are you free to speak your mind,
Or do you hold back for fear of what you'll find?
Do you feel free to be yourself,
Or do you hide behind a mask like everyone else?
Are you free to love who you choose,
Or do you bow to societal rules?
Do you follow your heart wherever it leads,
Or do you stay within the lines society decrees?
How free are you, my friend?
Are you free to live without fear,
Or do you feel trapped by life's endless career?
Do you feel free to dream and soar,
Or are you weighed down by the burdens you bore?
The answer lies within your soul,
For freedom is not something that can be sold.
It's a state of mind, a way of being,
A choice we make in every moment of living.
So be free, my friend, in all that you do,
And let your heart guide you to what is true.
For in the end, it's not what we possess,
But the freedom we feel that brings us happiness.
