Freedom's Slave

When did your freedom first enslave you?
You wear your independence like a shield.
It's impressive how impervious you are
to all foul weather and every need.
But under that protective coating,
do you miss being touched?

Not every connection is a weakness;
Not every call, a cripple's crutch
You must learn to see all the healthy hues of expression
between isolation and obsession.
Escape your stale monochrome time capsule
And breath the sweet fresh air of interdependence!
