We're told to be ourselves, unique and true,

Yet society expects us to fit into a certain hue,

We strive for freedom, yet seek control,

We preach acceptance, yet judge and troll,

Life, a paradox, what else is new.

About the Creator

R.Freya

Poetry is my soul's language, and I wield words like a paintbrush. From heartbreak to hope, I capture emotions and spin them into verse.
