Freedom Struggle, So Human

Smile, anger or tears, oh, my
innocent state
Adult world! What a terrifying
rut it can be!
Doesn't our creator want
to make ourselves more free?
Searching and questioning and
faltering and falling
Getting up again and going
ahead and calling
Do we need to get conditioned
into these cultures and society?
Just make do with what comes
our way indefinitely?
Or do we dream of something
better, a paradise?
Where everyone is nurtured
and as free as can be
and flowers into one's truest potential.
