searching for freedom - Ziggy Alberts

Flowers don’t grow

In vases or jars

And neither does she

In traffic or cars

With debts to be paid, that she owes to herself

With interest for trade ins

In good states of health

Of places to grow

Moments to heal

Of everything everyone’s expecting from me

Searching for freedom

Slowing down time

There’s more that I feel

Deep in my bones

Hidden in me, there’s reasons I know

I’ve been searching for freedom

Searching for mine

There’s more that I feel

Deep in my bones

Hidden beneath these reasons for being

Searching for freedom

Searching for mine

He stopped asking for change in the past

Moving forward, asked for change in perspective

And learnt a lot more

And felt his hand raised between his eyes and the sun

The warmth flooding in, saw the importance of

Moments to grow

Of places to heal

Of everything that I have been expecting from me

I’m searching for freedom

Slowing down time

There’s more that I feel

Deep in my bones

Hidden in me, there’s reasons I know

Searching for freedom

Searching for mine

There’s more that I feel

Deep in my bones

Hidden beneath these reasons for being

Searching for freedom

Searching for mine

Searching for freedom

In transit to home

Searching for freedom

Traverse the unknown

Searching for freedom

Truth in that feeling

Truth in that meaning

Searching for, searching for

Searching for freedom

Searching for freedom

Searching for freedom

Truth in that feeling

The truth in that meaning

Searching for, searching for

Searching for freedom
