I've always tried to make you happy, <br />Living for you and not myself. <br />All I wanted was to make you proud. <br />I was always afraid to ask for your help. <br />I only cried when you made me cry. <br />I only smiled when I was allowed. <br /> <br />Your puppet on a string. <br />A bird not able to fly or to sing. <br />You cought me with a swing of your net <br />And then you clipped my wings. <br /> <br />Every thing I did showed you my love. <br />But you twisted it all into lies. <br />You were so good at making me feel guilty. <br />So good at making me cry. <br /> <br />Birds' feathers grow back, you know? <br />I'm flying now! <br />I will never go back. No. <br />So, who's crying now?<br /><br />Amanda Lukas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-clipped-my-wings/
