PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

For so long I’ve been running from
Myself. Why? To make others happy.
It’s taken a toll and I’m tired
Of holding back the flood gates. About
Time this dam burst and all my
Desires and dreams be set loose.
There will be those who question
My actions and where all this
Might be taking me, and the
Truth of the matter is even I
Don’t know where I’ll end up.
But I can’t keep slowly killing
Myself. I must embrace what I
Am and pursue what makes my
Heart beat faster and gives me
That natural high that comes from
Only following your dreams. Let the
World look at me funny, let my
Loved ones question my actions but
I will chase all the fantasies that
Make me, me, and go where they lead.
