Critical
Imagine freedom being tied
To how far you can run
Be it from a gun,
your mum
Running from expectations
You're acting like a bum
Someone's son
To succumb to banal pleasures
You bum
Experienced pleanty these few years
But yet still
A master of none
The cat has 9 lives
You live to tell one tale
You've been given plenty of opportunities
And yet you fail
Trivial and cumbersome
No wonder you've been called scum
Lacking in drive say some
Advice you never took on
Feel free to fail
And still alive and alright
You've learned some
Taken trips round' the sun
Years of yearning, waiting
Maybe you are, someones one
Does it matter?
Freedom is not experienced from running from the gun
Face problems head first
You are your own means to an end
You are something to someone
Your mother's son
Her tender demeanour and her likeness
In her likeness but out of the home
The exploration is limitless.
Character limited
Desire lacking
Look in
To break out
An open letter
He yearns for better
To improve oneself
One must see
They are not trapped
By who they think they must be

To me Jamal this is a tell it like it is poem and as the previous comments point out requires repetitive readings. Thank you.
