you questioned my sense of freedom <br />it's out of the ordinary <br />you say you are free <br />you followed the rules <br />you dress and groom as <br />normal people do <br />your life is orderly <br />you follow the dictates of <br />society <br />that makes you free <br /> <br />my hair is messed up <br />my nails dirty <br />you think that is a disorder <br />not of the usual norm <br />if i preferred my flip flops <br />over your Ferragamo <br />would you consider me <br />an outcast because i'm <br />not like you <br /> <br />if you have to act and do <br />as others do <br />if you have to conform <br />because it is expected of you <br />do you honestly feel <br />that you are free? <br /> <br />as for me <br />I am free <br />when i feel free<br /><br />Eloida Capuno<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-discourse-on-freedom/
