and be able to take it
Freedom is to know what is not good for my soul
and be able to take it, too
Freedom is to having to tell you everything
Freedom is not having to explain myself, too
Freedom means being allowed to argue my point of view
Freedom means i can argue yours, too
Freedom says i can walk away whenever i want
Freedom says i can stay indefinitely, too
Freedom is turning around midstream
Freedom is staying the course, too
Freedom is not liking the flow and sound of this poem
and putting it out there, too
okay this is for Poets United ("freedom" was this week's topic) and im not proud of this one because i want to sit a while longer and tweek it. i am forcing myself to let it be imperfect--however much it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. i am running late. rather than coming back to finish it, i will let it be what it is. ah, freedom!

I like these lines,
"Freedom is turning around midstream
Freedom is staying the course, too"
so true n' powerful~
cool thoughts on freedom.
And God says,"You are free."
The last line made me smile. So true about posting isn't it? Freedom to regret, and freedom to forget I always say.
True we all have the freedom to like and not like, this one I like.
Freedom is precious. I love the form, it gives the content such strenght.
nice...i like the apparent contradictions in this...and in that there is freedom....smiles.
I'd leave the 'too' out and simply pair the opposing lines.
Otherwise, why are you unhappy about it? I like it.
This is beautiful!

I wonder aloud how many people don't realize they have these freedoms to choose from? It's a nice write, "too".
