Freedom at last
By: Cherishable_Baybee

Day after day
Month after month
I rejoice in the departure of grandparents

They place a great deal of trust in me
Which they have never done before
They are actually placing my life in my own hands

It may be only for a short period of time
But at least I get to experience some freedom
I’ve never felt more trilled to see them leave

Nothing but happy thoughts
Run across my mind
The very thought of it blows me away

But apart of me remained in fear
What will happen when they arrive?
Will they let me continue on living this way?

I know nothing can tear my grandparents and me apart
But fights and struggle for life and freedom
Make it hard to communicate

Nothing mattered at this moment
All that mattered is,
Is that I'm free
Free as a bird

I can spread my wings
And fly away
Nothing longer tamed

So glad this is happening
The trill of adrenaline runs through the course of my veins
For once I have a longing to live

I am born again
And nobody could not stand in between my freedom and me
As long as I’m in control

All that mattered is that I’m finally happy
People said I would end up in a catastrophic state without them
But if they only knew how much heartbreak and misery my grandparents caused
Then they wouldn’t underestimate me or them
and maybe just maybe I could live life in peace.

i liked it, i just dont understand where you are coming from, sounds like at first with them you get responsibility, and with out you are free, then it seems that with them you cant be torn apart. i liked the feel of it. if you could explain to me alittle bit more please, im sure its good i just dont understand.
sorry,

RHIA

Umm, i'd have to agree with Rhia it sounds to me that you have mixed emotions about your grandparents, that you love them yet there is part of you that wants them to just leave you alone! I don't know, that's just what i thought though...

Also, on this poem I think that your tenses are a little jumbled up, I'm not sure cause i'm not very good with tenses but I kind of felt like sometimes they were wrong, no offence...

Maybe it was on purpose and maybe not but I liked the mixed emotions in this, i liked how sometimes you contradicted yourself but didn't contradict yourself? Okay, now that's just what i'm doing... lol

Great job on this one Cherishable_Baybee
I can't wait to see more by you in the near future!

Cherishable_Baybee, I see that you don't encourage critiques. So I'll just say, I think you had mixed feeling, good job, and move on.
