this allure
for fields without fences
is the kind that forces new awareness
an empathy
with misunderstood men
Solitude
motivated by selfishness
Answers
in the silence
saying things
that can’t be known.
In every man
is the desire to throw off authority
to listen
to his own heart
Few
see the top
before they reach it
if they do, their spirits falter
what are we doing
walking well-worn paths
asphalt assumptions
suggesting freedom
what if we did
what we wanted to do?
what if we wanted
different things?
perhaps we don’t know what we want
but I venture a guess
that we do
it takes courage to admit it
Power
to follow after it
Strength
that can’t be measured
by other men.
We only need to, measure ourselves, based off of our own value systems, and not anybody else’s.

Yes; I agree. It’s interesting how we choose our values. Many would say they come from culture or god, but regardless, people have different things they place value on. How do we select our values and why?
