I feel,

I see,

I think,

  but still, I am not free

there's tethers

  that bind me

a past

  that won't let me be

Complicated

  indispensable me

with a future, finally

  that I can see

Desires

  driving desperation

Happiness

  choking agitation

Wants and needs, I feel

  Happiness and love, I see

I think that to be held by you

  is as free as I want to be

I'm amazed at how well your poems are echoing my own feelings...I can so relate!  So of course I think this is great!
