Don’t keep me tied down. <br />Don’t tell me no. <br />You have no idea <br />That I long for my life. <br />Stop taking it from me, <br />It hurts those stupid limitations. <br />I just want to fly, <br />No one knows me truly. <br />Only I can survive on my own. <br />Just unlock the cage <br />Help me escape. <br />The darkness suffocates <br />Limiting my sight. <br />The shackles keep me in place. <br />Restricting my movement. <br />Let go! <br />I can’t stand it anymore! <br />I hate crying! <br />Can’t you see? <br />I want myself! <br />I’m not that little girl anymore.<br /><br />Jennifer Ottinger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/binding-2/
