The light of Freedom shines brightly in the distance
\nThe Hope that I will reach it lessens with every word you write and speak
\nThe criticisms wrap around my ankles like chains
\nFalse claims and accusations cling to me like wet fabric
\nWeighing me down as I try to step forward
\nI fight back the tears and the frustration builds
\nMustering strength to push on past the aggravation
\nMoving slowly I growl out loud
\nSHUTUP I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
\nNot very convincingly
\nDoubt creeps in
\nMaybe you’re right
\nI stop doing what I love
\nWrought with hopelessness I cry
\nI look up and see the blaze of glorious Freedom
\nIt calls to me with its siren song
\nIt comes down to Freedom or my love for you
\nFreedom wins and I push on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
