Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder how it would feel to be free.
We think we are free, but in reality we are all prisoners.
Whether it be to an object......or to an entity....or to a dream...or to a feeling, we are all prisoners.
Whether we are involuntary prisoners...captive to our genes, our experiences, our cards....
Or whether we are voluntary prisoners....captive to our god...our hopes...our hearts..and our hate.
There are times in our lives where we cross from one status to the other.....
And I think that it is in the crossing over that we learn how to become free...
To be paroled from all that controlled us....that drove us....that consumed us...that punished us.
So it is in choosing to be a prisoner that you actually become free.
