Analysis of Freedom

Bao Lam 2005 (Sai Gon)



Trying to live, but you are making it harder...
    why can't you just let me be.
One word unspoken, but millions yelled out,
    is it necessary....Is it worth it?
Can't seem to hear when you,
    when you're filled with rage and anger.
If one question were asked, my life would not be over.
