When will I know what freedom feels like (again)?
How could I even know?
The longer I survive the less sure I believe I ever will
I do believe I have felt freedom but that was a million years ago
[or felt what at the time I believed freedom to be]
But I am now sadly much less as sure about the concept or construct
This life has penned me into a position of a somewhat cowardly caution
Forces against me ever knowing are so strong
Perhaps I may only vaguely remember
