Free

By Jaiden Jackson '27

I wish to be free:

Free of worry.

Free of care.

Free of wondering what other people think of me.

Free of doubt that dares to cross my mind.

Free like a bird not a single thought just flying.

But I am not.

I have worries.

I have care.

And I wonder what people think.

I will never have the power to fly.

I am trapped in a box and I watch to watch the world happen.

I have no power over what people think of me but I act like I do.

I wish to be free.
