I’m free-er than free
Free to be me
Free-er than I thought
I could ever be

Free to eat peas
wherever I please

Free to sing songs
no matter how long

Free to have lunch
when it’s just time for brunch

Free to bake muffins
and photograph puffins

Free to sleep late
to be late for a date

Free to be quirky
or sarcastically smirky

I’m free-er now
than I’ve ever been
and I will be free
again and again
