Freedom No Longer Frees You

Just something that came into my head so I wrote it down for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think…
We are all born free and equal.
At least that's what they always told us.
In truth none of us are free of equal.
Our human shells are the ultimate prisons.
Keeping us confined on this earth, in this life, in this realm.
We are trapped here with our emotions, and feelings,
and pains slowly tearing apart, at the first beatings of a heart.
