WHAT IS FREEDOM IN DARKNESS?

“The library is my refuge. Rows upon rows of books, each holding a piece of someone’s mind, someone’s struggle. I’ve been spending hours here, lost in legal texts and the occasional novel. Balance is everything. To be free is not to escape the shadows, but to walk through them unbroken. Freedom is the light we find within.”

What is freedom in darkness dire?

Perhaps a steadfast step through mire.

Perhaps the keenest eye that sees,

The beauty born of whispered pleas.

Freedom is to hold each heart,

And in return, your love impart.

To value all who dare to give,

To see the truth, to truly live.

Freedom is the distant star,

That guides the ship when storms are far.

To stand respected, firm and free,

And know that life still beats in thee.
