Caged by whispered thoughts,
ensures loss of power.
Recall achievements.

Insecure
Unchained
Invisible chains
are hard to remove,
they keep you in place
you can not improve.
Ambitions on hold,
not hoping too far,
unseen slavery,
familial scar.
Growing intention
slithers up the spine,
lingered rejections
draw a solid line.
Fear is the leader
of imprisoned minds,
creating a cage
that make your eyes blind.
Ignite inner fire,
try hard to resist,
the next generation
will learn to persist.
A key in your heart
will vanquish the chains,
providing a chance
to remove the pain.
Hold on to your light,
allow it to guide,
take steps to live free
with strength by your side.

Necessary
I come to you, heart on my sleeve,
to say farewell before I leave.
To lay the truth out on your hands,
in hope that you could understand.
I trust that we will be just fine,
once I express thoughts on my mind.
In breaking down our concrete wall,
all issues will instantly fall.
I look at you, feeling dismay,
as your eyes do not look the same.
Your face became a hollow mask,
as if my presence is your task.
My ego rises as I see,
your smile wants to belittle me.
My words come out a jumbled song,
absorbing peace and feeling wrong.
Regain my self control once more,
antagonizing looks ignored.
Came here this time to make things right,
final goodbye without a fight.
Am doing this to close old ties,
without the need for petty lies.
You have your path and I have mine,
both living happy distinct lives.

Are never, one size fits all.
Feel good, stay healthy.
