I Want to be Me

by I Seem to be the Heartless   Aug 29, 2007


I just wish you'd let me be.
Why do you keep preventing me from being free?
Why won't you let me live my own life?
Why do I have to suffer through this constant strife?
You've had your turn, now let me have mine.
All the mistakes and wrongs in the world are mine to find.
Please stop holding me captive in this cage
All you're doing is building unwanted rage.
Let me live - I want to learn on my own
I want out of here - I no longer want to hear your constant moans.
I beg of you, please set me free,
Let me live my life - I want to be me...

    Only suggestion is to work on the flow. And there was one line where the rhyme seemed forced. It was line #10. The message of this poem is what's good. It's very easy to relate to, and that makes a reader want to finish the piece, to keep reading. So I encourage you to constantly keep pulling your emotions from the heart and putting them into your pieces, as it's so obvious you do.
