"Poetry by Ruth Hill"

Freedom

Freedom is a good thing to have
To be able to go out
Without being told
A time to come back
To be able to come in
When you feel like you've had enough
Not when someone says
Freedom is a good thing
To be given
The last thing you want
Is it to be taken away
From you
So be careful that
You don't lose that
Freedom which you have been given

Decisions

Decisions are hard to make
Decisions have to be made
Every single day
You're asked a questionv Which needs an answer
So you're left to decide
On what you think is the best decision
That has to be made

Destracted

When you're getting on okay
There's nothing getting in your way
You've finished the task
That has been asked
But then you get distracted
Half way through a sentence
You've lost your path of thought
You're not amused
You think over and over
What was said
But it's gone our of your head
This is the thing
When you're distracted
You have to start over again
But I tell you one thing
At least it gets done

No escape

When there is no way out
No escape
You feel lost in the middle
Of this trap that
You have got yourself into
You can't believe that it
Has become like this
What has started
Has finished leaving
You in an awkward precision
That you wish you
Never started it in the first place
