Truth

Your words, they confuse
they keep me locked up,
you find it amusing
to keep filling the cup.

Why won’t you just let me,
just let me be,
cocooned in this silence,
so I can feel free?

We've travelled together,
but our trip was cut short,
now we should both rest,
allow our lives to get sort.

Your digging disturbs me,
it wont let me breath,
just as I felt steady,
and ready to leave.

Let go of my wrists,
they can't stand the strain,
I'll stand here beside you,
no need for the blame.

Then I'll walk away slowly,
and think to myself,
"There's courage inside me,
no need for anyone else"

I keep walking slowly,
the thought's hard to digest,
but my steps remain steady,
as they follow the beat from my chest.

I’m stronger without you,
I never was sure…
how deep the strength’s inside of me
how much I could endure.

I needed you then,
but I know better now,
it's time to begin,
back on solid ground.

I’m ready now,
ready to create,
A world so exciting,
a new mold of fate.

This poem is dedicated to anyone who has had difficulty giving up something or someone that they thought they could never be without, until the day they find themselves walking away from it… realizing that they have been in control the entire time, and that the only necessary element in their lives is themselves.

Truth; always has been, always is, always will be.
