you are free

you are free
it might not seem like it
but you are
you have your youth
you're beautiful
smart
and all that jazz
and each time you look in the mirror
and say "man my life sucks"
remember that there are starving children
in Indiana
and I can do whatever I want
be whatever I want to be
dream whatever I want to dream
and love whomever I chose to love
so cowboy up, its a long road yet
you will fall, and you will fail
but I'll be a hand to help you up
and I'll be a shoulder
for you to cry on, or lean on
or hug
and never forget
you are free
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    I'd rather save the starving children in India than be free.....

    I'd give away my freedom and all of my prospects to save starving children and to save dying and tortured

    freedom means nothing unless we're all free....

    so sit back and think of the wonderful life you'll have.....and don't let the bloated and bruised faces bother you
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    face piles
    of trials
    with smiles...

    it riles
    them to believe
    that you perceive
    the web they weave.........


    and keep on thinking free
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    on a slate
    they wrote
    the formula
    for hate
    they mixed
    it with fate
    and poured
    it into vial 8
    now they wait
    at the gate

    so late
    love comes
    bounces in
    and trounces
    love will spill the swill
    in vial 8
    and dissipate
    hate
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......
