Fully Fledged

An expanded and edited version of, KL Goode's "I already climbed that mountain". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/amendoim1988/1431367/

You act surprise
By my actions.

In stating

My total independence
By freeing myself

Of your manipulative ways.

As if
This is happening
Out of the blue
To you.

Expecting me

To kowtow.

Every time

You snap

Your fingers

For something.

Truth is

Those days are

Over

Between us.

As my fledgling wings 
Are ready for flight
To soar
Without you.
