Freedom (Poem)

Freedom

By Soran

 

"I left the house, what once was mine,

For better things in store.
To reach my goals, to clear my mind, 
Of all of this and more."
 
"I gazed upon the roads ahead, 
The long and winding trails. 
The twists that seem to hurt my head, 
But purge me of my fails."
 
"The roads are clear; my mind is too,
I look toward what's to come.
I wait for what I hope is true,
Of what I will become."
 
"The roads now end; my home is near, 
A tear streaks down my face.
Who knew that now, within this year,
I'd live with my own grace."
 
""I'm now my own," I thought with glee,
While fighting back a smile.
My childish years, you will agree,
Now didn't seem worthwhile."
 
"I thought of what I have in store, 
An entertaining thought.
The work and studies and much more,
Will fill up what was naught."
 
"I moved my things into my home,
And pondered for awhile. 
My life right now, alone I roam,
My own opted exile."
 
"My life back then never felt free,
I gave a somber sigh.
This prison now set up by me,
my life is a far cry."
 
"Now tethered down by my false hopes,
I was now only scared.
To find that life's a slippery slope,
And I was not prepared."

Poem Description:
 
So I got bored and wrote another poem. This one should be pretty self explanatory, but it's a poem based around a young adult moving on in the world. They're excited for the freedom they will have of not being tethered down by parents/guardians. They have all these hopes and dreams for their freedom but along the way they start to realize that they aren't really free. They are still tethered down, just not by parents/guardians any longer but by life itself. Because they decided to move on into the adult world they tethered down themselves because of their responsibilities now as an adult. It's a rather somber poem despite the rather upbeat feeling in the beginning.
