To Be Free

To Be Free

© by Bud Lemire on Dec 8, 2015

What I want is for you to be

Able to do what you want, to be free

No one telling you what to do

Just the person you are, being you

I don't believe anyone should be in control

When you are free to choose, it makes you whole

No one should be throwing things around

Nor hiding scared in your room without a sound

Being yourself is being true

All I want is you to be you

I don't like to know you're in a bad place

With a frown and tears upon your face

I want laughter and to see you smile

To enjoy your company for quite awhile

No one should be told to be silent

That's not the way a life should be spent

No one should always have to be on guard

In their own home, it's just too hard

What I want is for you to be

Able to do what you want, to be free

Nobody should be a prisoner and a slave

in their own home. They should be free to

do what they want, and be who they wish to

be. Giving freely, and living freely. With the

one you are with, both should respect the other.

Nobody should be taken for granted and degraded.

Everyone is precious and has value. Everyone should

be free to be.......who they are and wish to be.
