Pursuit of Freedom

Surely it's true that the body, no, the soul craves freedom!
I wonder how it feels for the people who have learnt to accept what happens to them. How did you suppress your soul?
My soul has been tormenting me. It wants to be free but I am limiting it. It wants to achieve so much. It wants to make an impact. It wants to Change The World! But I am holding it back. My body seems free. But my soul is smarter. It knows the body is weak, scared even. The body cares about how the world sees it and conforms, but the soul, it sees the world and wants to shape it.
What is sad is I end up being the battlefield. Going through each day with uncertainty and anxiety, walking on eggshells. Trying to change the world while at the same time conforming to it.
We do not have all the answers and we cannot know everything.
There is a middle ground, so I hear.
A safety in the battlefield
For there to be freedom there must be war
