Freedom

Where am I?
The sun rises differently here
I'm coughing from the smog
And it's cold
Why am I here?

For success
I could be successful
But the video plays
And I don't want it to define me
I need to be decent
And this is a last resort
As I stand as if attending a funeral
With tears in my eyes
No, the greatest thing I could desire is not success

I can hold my head high
For the potential I will not accept
A staggering thought to most
I will define my path
And I will dare to be different
Different from what's hip and what's custom
From the chords of the world around me
And I will be free

There are some references here that are too specific for me to mention and stay anonymous, but there is one paraphrase of a famous quote in there that may explain a little if you see it. This one is a pretty heart-felt conviction.
