Another Poem

Another day
another letter
another e-mail
to my favorite brother
Another morning
another pot of coffee
Another half smile
Another PDF file
Another dollar
for another day
Need to find some money
then I'll find my way
For now I'll sit at my desk
earn what I need for bills and debts
Gonna be a biologist someday
Grow my wings and fly away
to another place
find a friendly face
Learn to live and love alike
find my freedom to be as I like
to travel, to settle,
to spoil, and be simple
Freedom from judgement
Freedom from make-up
Freedom from expectation
from stagnation
Freedom to come and go
to lead and to follow
to challenge and flow
Freedom from money
Freedom to be silly
Maybe another day
Maybe another way

 

lovely. the structure of the poem reinforced the confidence and courage in the words.

 

Hope you find your freedom. The world was born in chains and now and then one of us escapes. Hope you're it! Loved the longing in the poem. Don't lose it.

 

Thank-you, both. I wrote it before moving here, to Washington. I think I've found what I sought, at that particular time, or at least I'm much closer.

 

lol. it's funny in a sad officetrap way!!

 

i really liked this one...you got a good feeling with words..i hope you find freedom..and the things you're longing to..and please write on..you're good!!

Loved the message of the poem until I got to the last two lines, they made the poem droop with a cliche ending.
But overall a very solid piece that anyone can easily identify with.
