PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I never knew what I was in for,
I didn't know keeping up appearances
and others expectations would ruin my beautiful life
But it did
the same way you scrunch up paper and straighten it out again
The creases are still there.
My promising life now held captive by your pain upon my leaving
And each dream of my heart slowly fades and dies
The the essence of who I once was;
glorious, fresh, fearless and exciting
Has conformed to an ill fitting mould.
And I who only pushed you to be all you could be
Learned you never could be that one burning thing to me
I am slowly making it right with my crying ego
I wanted to paint the skies
Dance in the rain in every quaint town
To sculpt magnificence in your honor
And build a charmed life around us
But we dug into this hole and made it a home
The awards and accolades of my youth
Line the walls as echos of what might have been
In another place and future of mine
But I accepted you in, I let you take control
And now I hunger for the me that once was
Carefree and free of confines of the everyday norms
I break silence with you from these matters of my soul
Excluded by my heart which always
Lays in your favour
But my identity is renewed.
As you broke I must lead
And it is time to become the fearless me
I will not break,
I will not heed the jealously of what is not understood
I am withI my rights to hold my time as precious
As my breath
Because where they won the battle
Violating your expectations
I have none,
None has duritiction over my perceptions
I do not run and hide from their misinterpretations
I am the truth.
I fear none
I'll fight for us
On the way
To losing this
Unwanted
Self.
