Asking Why...Free Ain't I? Poem by Mariam Eissa

It's time to sail this ship
away from the shore
cuz I nearly forgot.. not so sure
about what I've been fighting for
I wanna sail with it
into a forever trip
where no one's with me
where I can really see
how beautiful could liberty be
where I can go to an island
sit beside coconut tree
lie on the sand
stretch my hand
look up high
at the birds that fly
high up in the sky
but I'm just here asking why
Why.....free... ain't I?
