Free in a Dungeon
It's your life. Live life to the fullest. Live life like your dying. It's your choice. All these things and more have flooded into mine–and many others minds. Who am I? What do I stand for? Do I believe? These arduous questions, left with no answers.
Our lives develop around the things we know starting with religion, morals, and dreams. That is who you are. When Taylor Swift said “Who you are is not what you did...” she lied.

Now for you realist, would you agree? I'm not going to be on the cover of a magazine, rich and famous.
We are humans, that is our name. Our origins is Earth. But are location is prison. Freedom doesn't come from different places in the world. We are all the same. We are brothers and sisters, we fight the same game. Our constitution says were free. But what about my brother in Turkey? Or my sister in China? What about my cousins, aunts, and uncles? This piece paper proclaims that I am free, but my heart is in a dungeon. When will it ever be set free? Yeah, its my–our life...
