Freedom
As a young woman in the streets of Oakland,
Most don’t finish high school because they are pregnant
Or they drop out of school.
They feel they are not successful.
They are powerless.
They feel they are not in charge of their own lives
And that the guy is powerful
And that he is their whole world.
I hear that girls do not go to college because
They don’t have the funds.
But I am going to try to get other options.
I will work hard.
My freedom is still here.
In a perfect world,
Freedom is there in your hands.
Sometimes it’s scary.
