Write a story or poem titled "Freedom".

Freedom

Freedom is a funny thing. It’s the wind dancing with my hair and the leaves dancing with the wind. The smell of fresh rain as it falls from the clouds. There is freedom in the little choices you make that don’t hold any huge significance to life. And if I had the choice, I’d fly away with the birds. Birds are the embodiment of freedom. They get to fly when they wish and rest when they get tired. They eat when they find food and make a home in a nice tree using only the materials they gather. They soar above us in a pattern yet that pattern can be broken. They float alone without a worry for what tomorrow brings and what yesterday foretold. I envy birds. So few have freedom like this. We are trapped in a world that doesn’t accept differences as easily. We are stuck in a world where people are treated as investment towards more power and everything is done purely to gain. This is why I wish to fly with the birds. Remember the little things when you feel trapped in society. Don’t forget the sweet choices you make and the freedom that life brings however small it may be. Birds may fly and I wish I did too, but that doesn’t mean we should waste our lives mourning something we can’t have. We need to make it our own, especially in the little things.
