This poem reflects on freedom, as a personal desire and as part of the collective fight against racial and ethnic injustices. While presenting an idealized expectation of freedom, I consider the complex and contradictory elements of freedom. Freedom is reimagined as an inclusive, liberatory experience rooted in individual authenticity and shared humanity. Reflecting on the struggle between self-expression and systemic limitations on freedom, this poem celebrates both the scars of oppression and the resilience born from collective histories. It critiques the use of freedom as a weapon to perpetuate violence and advocates for a freedom that is collaborative, just, and mutual. This poem provides space for solidarity-based individual development and dislocating structures of oppression. This poem invites us into a space wherein freedom is free flowing, interrelatedly acknowledged, and equitable, likening freedom to the boundless flight of a butterfly.
