I've been holding onto the rope for a while,
trying to keep from sinking.
But, the more I think about it
the more that I know
that I was always just like this.
Though I may let go for a moment,
of that line drawn tight between
where I want to be and where I'm wanted.
I can't seem to let go
let loose
and submerge in what I am.
I know what they want of me;
my family and friends.
They want me to be happy,
but they still want me on their side
the "right" side.
I can play the game,
stay close to the line.
But eventually,
I'll just leave those who will their views on me behind.
I will let go.
Not to abandon hope,
but to rectify it.
For I am who I am.

I think I do?!?! True independence of the mind, spirit and soul?!?! Geeezzzz...that sounds deep. Too early in the morning for that!
Thanks for sharing this L... I see internal struggles for peace and happiness - while the outside world is trying to force what they think is the correct path upon you. Funny - parts of this mimic my life at the moment... Did you write it?
I think that everyone can probably empathize with it, which is why I like the piece. I think most of us growing up feel/felt compelled to conform to some standard in order to feel accepted. The problem is when you start growing up and looking around and wondering why you are putting on this stupid act. Either nice work L or thanks for tracking it down for us.
I love it - conflict is good!
Yeah, it's basically just about independence and whatnot... and I swear, I wrote it myself. it's what I do...I scribble on stuff.
