Thoughts on Free Thought
#17
Hi, I enjoyed the theme of this poem and thought that it flowed well. I do have some thoughts on the lines.

I'm free to think and do as I please.
Unbound and freed by Socrates-
To live and dream and spread the word
Of lessons often left unheard.
For from within, one finds their peace.

I'm free to think and do as I please.
No walls or chains or locks or keys
Can suffocate or dominate
My innate need to cogitate. - I find this sentence feels clunky or harsh - maybe its all those hard consonants. It might be because I don't love the word cogitate, but it does fit your purpose here. But even changing innate to inner would smooth this out, or something along those lines.
For from within, one finds their peace.

I'm free to think and do as I please.
Opposing vile tyrannies-
A call to all, though few will heed.
By my own will I intercede. - I'm a little confused here - intercede how and on whose behalf?
For from within, one finds their peace.

I won’t be bound by foreign will.
No rule so bold and brash and shrill
Shall box my precious sanctity
Of individuality.
By my own will I have found peace.

Thanks for sharing!
