Internal Freedom

Liberty has come
Our country celebrates
Our freedom today
Finding this freedom
We think that it’s external
Let’s give it some thought
It’s more important
What I do in private space
Than in the public
I train to listen
To the inner voice of hope
Not trusting feelings
Feelings come and go
Controlled by circumstances
My life is bigger
Awareness and space
Are secret keys to my life
Gifts I give to me
When I do not choose
And act without thinking
I find I suffer
And those around me, also
Suffer in ways that are sad
Our forefathers suffered here
Inwardly they sought freedom
They searched their soul for answers
That rose from within
They followed their dream
We stand today in freedom
Because they had the courage
To give up their lives
