Pen tapping, mind scrapping
Trying to find the right words
To do you justice.
Then I remember Freedom is
Different for many people,
So I decided to say it straight
From my heart, and off I was,
Ready to start.
I believe it should be an
Entity of Goodness,which allows
Us all to be or look the way we
Choose, without prejudice.
And Left feeling pressured to
Be what others think we should be,
And left feeling empty and
Disengaged from society
But worse of all,abnormal inside.
So if we find ourselves
Ready to shout out our own
Judgmental thoughts,
Remember we all have
A heart,that can bleed.

You write well. In any work

You write well. In any work aim to make your poem immediate, as if it is happening right now. There are times to kind of remember the past, and yet by making it come to life as if your eyes are enjoying the moment, it creates an immediate impact with your reader. Just saying... Richard LP
(I hope you don't mind my suggesting line changes to create the present---You, the writer decide finales. Cheers.
