Releasing me

Can you let me go

Can you release me to fly free

like the birds in the sky 

without direction 

without thought

without ownership

Can you release me 

to live my life like I always 

should have

can you release me to

walk for the first time like

an innocent child

Can you release me to learn

from my own pain and happiness

can you release me to live life

can you open the gates of your hold

Can you ?

Let me go.....so that I never come back

I was never yours

you held me back for so long

you told me lies 

I only believed your lies and made them

my truth

I was trapped in your invisible cell

until i realized i was in your jail 

and began to see the walls crumbling down

Can you release me 

let me fly free

let me flap my wings

let me soar away 

without you
