Can i be with you and not loose me? <br />If you had my heart, would i still be free? <br />Or would i live in bondage, bound to you? <br />Could all see me, would i shine through? <br /> <br />Been in a cage with no bars before <br />I was his prisoner, but not in war <br />My wings were clipped, i could not fly <br />Held captive for years, could only cry <br /> <br />Bound to him through fear and shame <br />I was his puppet, and it was his game <br />Robbed me of so many years <br />Scars on my heart, my souvenirs <br /> <br />So please if you want me in your life <br />Let me have freedom as your wife <br />Freedom to let me be me <br />This freedom i need, we have to agree!<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-as-a-wife/
