the freedom of crazy people

there are tons of "crazy" people roaming the streets of melbourne city.
"normal" people like me, steer clear from them,
seeing them as crazy and different,
even dangerous.

these so called "crazy" people are on some level the most free of us all.
they don't have to subscribe to society norms,
they don't have to behave in a certain way,
dress in fashionable way,
or look presentable.
they are not bounded by what society dictates,
they don't care about what others think about them,
or how they are frown upon.

people talk about freedom of speech,
fight and protest for the freedom to do this and that,
but what they don't realise that,
though they might be have the freedom of speech,
they are also bonded and submit to other forms of norms that have been normalised and socialized, so much so, that we think it is "natural" and "normal".

yes, these "crazy"people might be marginalized,
but the truest spirit of being free,
its purest form,
is being represented in these people.
