One day I lost my freedom
One day I lost my freedom

One day I lost my freedom

Dear Cloud Walker,

I created an image in my mind called ‘freedom’
I formulated its rules and borders
I know exactly how it looks

and still I am looking to be free

I traveled to every corner of this planet
I fought teachers, masters and rulers
I resisted the laws they made for me

and still I am looking for freedom

Why do I look for it when I know it?

I forgot that freedom is a feeling
that is present in everybody’s heart

I learned to forget my feelings
I learned to trust my thoughts

That is how I lost my freedom one day
