Freedom

I experienced it once,
The memory so faint,
I can barely remember...

A feeling so light, so careless
I had a spring in every step,
I smiled at everything
I embraced every morning
As if it really made a difference.

A sound so beautiful
I laughed at everything,
Tolerating all feeble attempts at 'music'
Amazing, looking back.

A sight so breath-taking,
I couldn't believe how much
I took for granted,
The sunsets, the stars, the beach
The world.

A fragrance so charming,
I couldn't ever get enough,
Everything just seemed so much
brighter, lively, magical.
I never wanted it to end.

Freedom....
What every teenage girl craves for
I'd give anything,
Just to taste it again.

Freedom.
