I'm here sitting on my blood stained knees
Begging and pleading
For this shrouding headache to leave my body
This confusion and this guilt
Is throwing me down a bottomless well
No matter what I do
It never seems to be good enough for you
I'm old enough to make my own decisions
Then why, oh why do you assume
You know what I do
It's not self-destruction
Nor self-afflicted
Just a simple descision
If I stumble and if I fall
Then allow me to learn from it all
Instead of beating it into every crevice and pore
I don't have to answer to anybody not even you
Only to myself, so please allow me to jump off of this shelf
And do it on my own at my own pace
As I allow my heart to be filled with laughter and grace
But how can I do so
With your stares and insintuating glares
You don't know me just quite yet
And I really don't think you're ready for that yet Because everytime I try to get close
I make a decision and let it go
And then you try to rub it back into my face
All because I made one little mistake
My one and only mistake on this earth is
Not allowing myself get close to you
Nor speaking when my heart wants me too
I only get in deeper into that bottomless well of lies
Surrounding and misting over my eyes
You would never understand
Or do you really want too?
I'm not bad nor up to anything
I only try to look out for myself and those around me
But that's one thing you can't see
Whenever we both get angry
All the respect I hold for you
Is hidden deep within my heart
I don't want to be in this power struggle anymore
I'm ready and willing to walk out that door
I'm no longer daddy's nor mummy's little girl anymore
I'm still alive
What more can you ask for......

"Let me be the one you call, if you jump I'll break your fall, lift you up and fly away with you into the night"

Wow!!!  That was so expressive.  Talking about pouring your heart out.  You even poured your soul.  I do hope things get better though.  Amazing read.  Thanks for sharing

Good job Kristen.  When are we going to finish Kismet?  Or is it my turn?  
I think that poem is in need of a reset... tell me what you think in the form of email.

Wow.. This poem is so full of emotion.  It's extremely well done.  You portrayed your feelings so well that I almost couldn't stop reading.  Very nice work.
Nicely done

This was great. So much emotion within it. I enjoyed it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
