Jester's Privilege

I wish I had the jester's privilege 
To mock freely without being punished. 
I wish I had the jester's privilege 
To be able to speak my ideas and my thoughts 
Without the ravenous laughter that follows. 
I wish I had the jester's privilege 
So I can unlock this cage, 
And set myself free.

I really like this piece i wrote, and i feel as though it can be relatable for many people. This piece was to represent my feelings of having to change yourself around others or be a different person than yourself entirely.
