Like the bird
He worries not about his needs
But gets everything he needs
In pack where he fits in,
Same color,size, same everything
So different from me,
But i'm the one who want to be he
Just so i can be free.

I'm so caved in a world
So unreal, yet so real,
I fight to get somewhere
To have something
To be someone
Then i realize the other day
That i was no longer free.
Everyone knows my name,
Knows where i was going
I touched no one
And fit in with nobody
Worried about everything.

That is life, that is me {Envy}
But oh how i long to be free!!

Re: I long to be free (User Rating: 1 ) by youlied on Wednesday, 8th June 2005 @ 10:19:23 PM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) I could not relate to this more...Everything I feel but could not put into words. I think you've captured the feeling well. This could maybe use a little bit of work, but not a lot, it's a great piece.
