Catch & Release

Poetry inspired from my journal entries

I’ve become a burden

A helpless child in your eyes

I’m not surprised

At how you despise

My very existence.

Forced to rely on you

Careful of what I say and do

Nothing you ever said was true.

Took me from my comfort zone

Constantly left alone

Freedom a distant memory

Told me you’d always take care of me

I’m not allowed to ask for what I need

Yet you continue to take from me

Trying to reach out

You refuse to hear me

If I’m such a weight upon your shoulders

Then the solution is simple

Release me.

Such beautiful poetic structure and words constructing a situation that I myself can actually relate to. There was a point in my life when I felt the way you so imaginatively convey, thus I can see the level of profundity you express. Great write. Thanks for the share.
