freedom’s slave

I am forced to be free
forced to take choices
since the day I was born
forced to discern between
whats right or wrong

I am not
even sure
if I am the master
of my own prison
or the slave of my cursed freedom

these are the principles
which are the same ends
the means by which a escape
would never make any sense
as I am my own guard
trapped in my mind’s back

and only in my own
unique way
by accepting
these chains
can I release myself
and enjoy being
freedom’s slave

transmuting them
— these sorrows and pain —
into the boundless inefable love
awareness of this eternal
present moment
bliss us and
bless us all
