I resisted as long as I could….. holding out for independence

but you enticed me into believing that I needed you

I fell asleep in your arms…. And you carefully severed the ligaments to my soul….in the interim I surrendered and gave you things you wanted….. losing my “self “ as we went along

I don’t blame you ……..I didn’t have the courage and inner strength to be true to myself

I let others dictate the many paths I traveled 🧳…..but those severed ligaments were growing

and finally I realized I could return to my path

it was invigorating to feel self respect after so many years of hiding behind someone else’s shadow

many disbelieved…..criticized……..hurling insults because they realized I was defending my ordained right not to be a “take it or leave it commodity”

I am a dreamer….. fulfilling his dreams sorry it didn’t fit your schedule

never enough for you……… enough for me

if our paths cross….. greet me with respect…. Or I will be gone forever
