I am free when I can stand up for what is right

I am free

when I have the power to express my feelings through emotions and words.

I am free

when I can walk on the streets at midnight without fear or obstruction.

I am free

when I can read and study what I choose.

I am free

when I can express my views through written works.

I am free

when I can eat and drink the same food and drinks other people enjoy.

I am free

when I am allowed to make mistakes and fail in life just so I can learn from it and gain success.

I am free

when I can stand up for what is right.

I am free

when I can be myself among friends.

I choose to be free….
