Freedom

A villanelle (with a twist?) about freedom

Don't say that,
I don't believe you.
I can't be free.

It hurts to hear it,
I just can't grasp it.
Don't say that.

I've tried to get it,
All I know is
I can't be free.

You'll have your freedom,
It's not beyond you,
Don't say that.

Learn to trust me.
You must stop saying:
'I can't be free.'

Don't give up hope,
We all can do it.
Don't say that
I can't be free.
