Liberty

There is an age, an age when everything is a challenge
Every challenge is welcome
As one adds more lines around the bark of one's life
Probably a stress is all its become
The mind reads like a to-do list
Nothing's ever done and festers like a cyst
To trudge along the same path becomes a chore
Time outs in life are no more
To a soul that aches to break free
The mind's doctor prescribes liberty
