Let me be

Let me do what I want to do

Let me speak when I want to speak

Let me go when I want to go

Cos' honestly, I have been waiting

Waiting to be what I am

Something I can at least identify

Understanding who and what we each are is a challenge as aged as Aristotle so makes a fine source for poetic prompting of which you have accepted admirably.

Indeed, Understanding our character is truly a challenge! Thanks for your comment, Winston!

Sadly - that is the mantra of about every generation of which I am aware..."Let me...". I learned long, long ago to MAKE decisions and of the need to be responsible and to live with them. You earn your night and day-mares... rather than just have them.

Indeed, Chris! Thanks for reviewing!

i think this feeling of not being allowed to develop your own personality begins in child hood; parents trying to mould their offspring into their own image. Then the rebellious teenager later on.
I too have had this pressure from parents and even partners. You have to let a bird fly free and find its own way otherwie it will die inside .

Indeed. Constant societal pressures tirggers our inner soul. And yes, the rebellion of teenagers is very common. Indeed, we all have to be allowed to fly. Thanks for reviewing, Stella!

I was lucky. My grandmother ensured. I enjoyed my life as a child and I do the same for my grandchildren. We must seek what we need. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
