I'm like a bird

This song was introduced to me once while I was studying in England. Actually, I have heard of this song prior to that but it is just part of me that songs title would nto be able to stay in my memory for long. The friend who recommended the song said that the songs suits me, "I'm like a bird, I wanna fly away, I dont know where my home is.."

Recently, a book has stirred me to consider, what is freedom? Is it the state where we are all alone and we think we can do whatever because we are alone? I quite agree with the author,that freedom is actually, the ability to choose. Some of us are 'free' and yet we are not able to commit ourselves to anything because we are afraid to be tied down. This is definitely not a kind of freedom. We commit ourselves because we like it, thats would sound more like freedom.

Ok, back to the bird story. It may seem like I am a bird, finding holes in a cage, trying to find a way out of it. but, little did you know that the reality is, there was actually a mirror in front of what you see. The person you see is not in the cage but on the outside, working hard to find a hole so that i can enter into the cage and be safe in there. Some place where to be at rest and somewhere to demonstrate skills, and specially with lots of freedom!! Not meeting expectations of anyone, including my very own. what an irony! Is there such a place?
