To Be Free

Some say freedom comes from a knife

Others say it is felt when you plummet into a river from a bridge with blocks at your ankles

To me, freedom comes from inside of me

Those voices that tell you to give up

The ones that are startlingly similar to your own

Fight them!

To be Free means to defeat the voices

To be Free means you find the help you need

Do not allow the shackles of suicide weigh you down

To be Free, find the joy in life

To be Free, find something you love about each day

To be Free, means not ending me

To be Free means you stop others from bringing you down

To be Free, is to just be me
