The Best and Worst of My Emotions

freedom

i used to have to beg
and scream and cry
just so i could go somewhere

i used to argue everything inside my brain,
my heart and soul
just so you would look at me differently

with my past entangled into my hair
and my morals spewed out
at every move of my vocal cords

but still you persist, you want me to be
chained for your will

scared that your precious child will
go rogue
again
that you won't be informed
again
that she'd chain you outside
again

sir, no disrespect,
you've pushed me so far away
that within this short period
of just a year
ive experienced more pain
more anger
more concern for my life
than the last 3 year bender
Ii was on,

thanks to you
ive been trapped
ive been yearning for fun
for laughter
for freedom from stress
i finally did it

i let it go
i let you go
