Got To Be Free

Got To Be Free

A Poem by wordman
"

"

I have searched for god,

and he has searched for me.

I`ve been searching,

searching to be free.


Like a bird, on a wire,

like a log, on a fire.

smoke rising like me,

just trying to be free.


And satan,

riding my back.

tossing me to and fro,

looking for a place  

my soul can go .


But can`t you see,

I`m like the smoke

rising from the fire,

I just got to be free...

The restraints we put on ourselves from wanting to do good can be demanding and not so free as one likes. Nice write wordy!
