An Ode To A Freedom Fighter

This poem is dedicated to each soul that yearns for liberty,

Each soul that seldom asks for help and suffers in secrecy.

Enslaved by their thoughts that make them gloomy,

This one's for every fighter bound to society's norms.

Compelled to fulfill certain expectations, 

They sacrifice a part of themselves to keep others around them happy.

But, what's a life that's not yours to live?

A soul that never receives but is always glad to give.

If you read this, I hope you embrace those scars,

Because they tell the story of how you've come this far.

This one's for every fighter still bound to their past,

Moving on from your past or the people you've loved is a difficult journey,

So, make sure to move at your pace and not hurry.

This one's for every fighter who thinks something's wrong with them,

To let them know they're precious and worthy,

This is an ode to a freedom fighter from another,

To let them know that they do matter.

This one's for every fighter who has tried but failed,

Just know, all that matters is that you faced, yet another day.

A freedom fighter fights for a life without constraints, so I hope you do too,

And a paint a life for yourself that has more colors in it than just blue.
