I love you.

But I only feel pain.

Scars left black and blue.

I am your property to detain

Long ago, I was a free spirit.

Desired to be in your arms.

Now, I fear it.

Took off all your masks and charms.

I WANT TO BE! A bird in the sky

Spreading my wings and fly!

The Clouds will become my new home.

Forever ME, free to soar and roam!

I WANT TO BE! A cat on the run

Out in the sun, living life full of fun!

The streets will become my new home.

Forever ME, free on all four and roam!

Live in shame.

A shell of what I wanted to be.

I'm your cause, your blame.

Hiding away, scared to truly see.

I love you

But scars are all I have to gain

From beatings that leave me black and blue.

Punishing me with all your disdain.

I WANT TO BE! A bird in the sky

Spreading my wings and fly!

The clouds will become my new home.

Forever ME, free to soar and roam!

I WANT TO BE! A cat on the run

Put in the sun, living life full of fun!

The streets will be my new home.

Forever ME, free on all four and roam!

All I can do is wait and cry,

For the day you go too far and I die.

Author's Note

Something deeply personal to me. As an outsider looking in, I am not sure I could really touch the pure emotions. I only hope I have done this piece some justice. So please tear it up, rip it apart, let me know how you feel

With Love,

Jayden

Whether you intended to create such a poetic whirlwind or not, you certainly captured the many and varied ups and the downs of this rollercoaster we are each required to ride .. I sure hope if this is in any way autobiographical, you feel a whole lot better having got it off your chest .. with respect and kindest regards, Neville

Gosh, this struck a chord with me. Emotion is there for sure.

There is great raising spirit in between this darkness. You said clearly what you wanna be and what you want to feel. You don't want be anymore victim . That's very hard way to go. Your emotions it's feels real like peson who was almost there. You have goo sensitivity and empathy .

You welcome it's good poem.

[George David Hope]

Really liked this....I wrote a poem along the same lines a few months back but it wasn't half as good as this.

[Matthew Kult]

Thank you for the kind words

This is a beautiful poem, with real and true emotion and pain that spills out onto the page. I understand that it is a personal piece and you may not want to change it, but sometimes less is more when it comes to exclamation marks. The words are powerful in their own right.

[Matthew Kult]

Thank you again

Well, Jay, I feel sad. The emotions flowing from the poem made my heart breaks. I feel deep sympathy for such emotional prisoner.

[Matthew Kult]

Thank you for the time

There is something about a battered woman which evokes a fire in me....you touched upon the subject pretty well, but you told half the story,as there is always a chance of vengeance on that puny little man. I tend to write of such matters from the avengers point of view. Still, effective and filled with emo.

[Matthew Kult]

Thank you for the kind words.

Matthew

[Gozer]

Think nothing of it...your words complement your soul.

[Shweta]

I really like the flow and high jumps the poem takes and showing how one drowns in this s**t. What a penmenship done! I must appreciate it.
You did a great justice to it☺

[Matthew Kult]

Thank you kindly

Profoundly tragic and intensely ominous.
Neither subject matter nor poem will not be easily forgotten.
A stunning creation!

[Matthew Kult]

Thank you for the read. Much appreciated

Your erotic work seems to inspire in you more inventive use of language. But the honesty of this piece reminds me of the emotions that grunge music from the nineties brings up. A feeling of loss, and a confidence of survival.

Thank you for the time
