PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was a long, long way from home

Hell-bent to make it on my own

To find a place that I could bear

Where people do not stand and stare

And give me space to breathe the air

I am a long, long way from there



Give me room to grow this time

Please don't try to cross the line

This time I need to find myself

Stop pretending I'm someone else

I need some room, if you don't mind



I 've got a long, long way to go

To let myself begin to show

The past would always some around

I'd change my name from town to town

Pack my things and never make a sound

I've run a long, long way from that



Give me room to grow this time

Please don't try to cross the line

This time I need to find myself

Stop pretending I'm someone else

I need some room, if you don't mind



Give me room to grow this time

Please don't try to change my mind

Please don't try to cross that line



Give me room to grow this time

Please wait for me on the other side

I need this time to be myself

Place the old up on the shelf

I need some room, if you don't mind

But please meet me on the other side
