The tighter you hold onto me,
The looser your grip will be.
I wasn’t made
To be caged
It’s time to let me go.
I’ll break your chains,
We’ll see what remains
Of the rules you made me abide by,
And you’ll finally see why
It’s time to let me go.
I don’t want to hurt you,
But this life, I outgrew.
I need to see
This world you flee.
It’s time to let me go.
I love that first stanza especially: Don't fence me in. And the idea of outgrowing a life is powerful too.
ReplyDeleteDeliciously written. A little bit of a dark and trapped vibe, I really feel like someone's about to jump from a cage. I love this poem.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed every second of reading this piece. I too sometimes feel this way about certain people and things. I think you put a lot of emotion into this piece and it shows. I agree with Mrs. Fraser about the idea of outgrowing a life, very powerful. I think this was very beautifully written, Taylor.
ReplyDeleteI thought that this was really good. I have few words for this other that it was very deep and very very good.

ReplyDeleteThis almost sounds like you could turn it into a song. It is beautifully written and describes the idea of the need to be free and live life for yourself really well. I like the like "I wasn't made to be caged." This line is so simple, yet it speaks volumes.
