PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was trapped

confined by rules and discipline

i felt the pressure (to be like you)

i felt the tension (to live how you say)

so, i hid (some parts of me away)

but it's always been me

(i've always been here)

it's still the same girl you've known since forever

i just pull away (when you ask me some things)

when i was with you

i felt my faith slipping away

each time a prayer card was given to me (stuffed into my locker)

each time you came to talk to me (about the choices i made)

just made me pull back (away from you)

you made me feel so bad, (i was scared to talk to you)

about the decision made, that I made..

but, i feel that it's right (the right thing for me)

not you.. but me..

u say i'm a bad person (that i've changed)

have i really? or is it just you?

i'm not in your world no more..



chorus:

so please, understand. (just understand)

you're pulling me down. (it's time to let go)

get out of your protection.. into life..

every time i'm with you. (you tell me how to be)

that i am wrong, you are right.

i'm pleading with you, please understand..

(that i'm just me, let me be..)

cuz it's hurting me..



you were my comfort zone, the safe place to be.

(not anymore). no, not anymore...

the day i left, the day i escaped..

i felt so free, so alive..

not ashamed, not scared

to be who i am (without consenquence)

without a lecture, without a perspective..

you should be happy to know.. (my faith's stronger)

every day, it's like a spirit week..

(i'm amped up, ready for anything)

b/c i know.. God's going to take care of me..

i may not do the things you do, or act just like you..

but don't judge me.. don't label me.. cuz it's still me.. (why can't you see?) that it's just me..

i'm in the right path, i'm in the right road..

i know for sure, cuz my heart tells me so..

every day, it's a new trial

a new test, to test my beliefs

and when i pass, it renews my strength. (i know how strong i am)

[chorus]



i'm proud, of what i'v become

it pains me to hear.. ( u don't feel the same)

we grew up together, since the age of three.

and yet, you push me away.. so easily ..

despite our arguments, our difference of thinking

i still want to thank you.. (yeah you heard me)

for putting in me the morals and values.. (that i still hold strong)

i'm sorry if you don't get it.. but it was time..

(time to let go)

you're the past, and on to the future..

but i'll always look back.. cuz we had some good times..

you and i.. good experiences... i'll never forget..

i hold no regrets(u shuldn't either)

just be glad..

that i'm learning so much... that i'm doing good..

just be glad.. that i'm still thinking of you..

i still remember.. the things i was taught.. (i still remember)

and i'll never forget...
