Poem Artwork

Allow me the freedom to be truthful to my own being.
Ask me not to love another because you think I should,
Causing me to be unfaithful to my own heart.
Ask me not to do the same things you do with your life,
Rendering me helpless and untrue to my own existence.
Ask me not to emulate the decisions you've made in your life,
Causing me to be traitorous to my personal potential.
Allow me the freedom to be truthful to my own being.
As well intentioned as you may be to protect me,
The path to hell is paved with stones of good intentions.
If you confine me tightly within your grasp,
My spirit will hold you forever responsible.
Allow me the independence to spread my wings,
Permitting my own soul to experience solo flight.
Allow me the freedom to be truthful to my own being.
