I am beautiful and strong...
I am weak and insecure...
I want everyone to love me...
I want to be left alone...
Please don't limit me with your expectations...
Please don't control me with your manipulations...
Please don't try to make me one of your possessions...
Let me be me. Make my own mistakes.
Stumble and learn and carry on...
I am not sure where I'm going,
not sure how I'll get there,
but I will know when I'm there...
Until then, be content to share the connection that we do have...
Find pleasure in the little things...
Pleasure of conversation, friendship, understanding...
Laughter, joy, and sharing a moment of time...
...of life.
I am tired of tangled webs...
tired of feeling guilty...
tired of not being enough
giving enough...
giving too much...
tired of feeling tired...
Can I reclaim a sense of innocence?
It seems so far away...
I awaken to a new day
and wonder where the paths before me lead...
