Can't never did nothing


Poem Artwork

You wanna be me

yet you can't see the forest for the trees

I ended up the stepford wife you always wanted me to be

trapped in my own prison for the world to see

it's not just you it's me and it does take two

the shackles are broken and I am walking tall

your righteous words don't impress me at all

You wanna be me

yet you can't see the forest for the trees

You can't stop long enough to see all we have

all that God has blessed us with...

You wanna be me

Hate to break the news to ya babe, but believe me

you don't wanna be me

trapped in your own prison for all the world to see?

I've done all I can and still you are driven to make me feel small

all I want is for you to see the bigger picture

life is too short to be stuck in the trees...

This is a very powerful message..I am hoping and praying that he does see the Forest for the trees..You must flee, my dear, it sounds like you are in an abusive relationship..No one has the right to make another feel like that.

I left, at age 49 and I am so happy to be free and myself once again!! Run, please run to your light and be free from him...

Warm hugs and much peace, love and light,
Amber
