free?

They say i’m free

But i still flinch

Broke the chains

But the scars don’t quit

I left the place that made me small

But sometimes i still crawl

Freedom look good in light

But at night i miss the fight

Miss the pain i learned to hug

Miss the cage that fit like love

Do i really want release?

Or just a new way to repeat?

Do i fly or just fall slow?

Is this peace or letting go?

Freedom ain’t no movie scene

It’s quiet steps and torn-up dreams

It’s losing friends to find your name

It’s waking up and still feeling strange

I don’t owe nobody my return

I don’t owe the past what it burned

So maybe this ain’t what they see

But maybe this

Is free?

Free?
