Love Is Freedom Poem by Rodney Dufault

Most of the time I feel like my brain don't think like yours.
Whatever you are thinking, I think of differently I'm sure.
While you think of ways to not let people through your door;
I'm thinking of how to keep them from ever stepping on my shores.

Truth be told, I'm always thinking of how to do it without force,
but with all the hate I've ever known it is so hard to stay the course.
I am a general, so how am I supposed to delay these wars?
I am only thirty six years old, but it seems I've taken fifty tours.

My mind never shuts down and it's only getting worse.
Sometimes I want to chow down on the people I see as lures,
but there's this one problem, and I believe it's called remorse.
I guess that's why I'm not as crazy as I thought way back before.

I have learned through the years that love really is the cure,
because of my wife and son and even a few others I adore.
And I don't care what anyone says, I'm going to tell you more.
Yes it's me, but it's also you who've helped my heart endure.

I'm just one of those people who sees things that I cannot ignore.
For a second I know exactly what to do; Then I am not sure.
For that moment, I am the man who when I needed him, came forth;
But now I'm asking for my freedom, so that I can see my worth.
