PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You used to hold me

Strings sewn into my back, needle embedded

In my heart, I tried to do what I thought you’d want

Sticks in an X, four strings connect me to you

But your intentions were so controlling

My exterior broke and I bled



I got my own

So please put me down

My feet will suffice

Despite what you might think

I will find my own way



Everything is changing, so am I

This ledge is shaking where feet were once firm

It’s been a long time learning I got my own soul

I got enough to know that I can stand alone

Until I find someone who’s satisfied just holding my hand



I got my own

So please let me cut away

My dreams will survive

Do not deny me this chance

I will find my own way



I learned a lot playing out that stage of my life

Thinking that I couldn’t

Knowing I could



I got my own

I need you to let me go



My feet will suffice

My dreams will survive

Despite what you might think
