Freedom
An elusive word
The kind that slips
Away from your grip

Unable to be comprehended
Impossible to have
Difficult to grasp
And sneaky in a sense

Freedom
A mythical term
A mere theory
A concept that never works

You think you have it
But then it's gone
Your soul is imprisoned
Yet you've done no wrong

Freedom
A word that lies
For freedom isn't free
The cost is too high

What good is a promise,
So often broken?
What good is freedom,
When you're chained and choking
