allow me to be...

let my thoughts fly
don't tie their wings
let me fall down
nothing can happen
let me measure my depths..

allow me to be angry
let my soul burn
let me realize
what apathy can cost..

give my greed a chance
and i will find out
how important effort is..

allow me to be jealous
and let me learn
how to let go..


let me feel the shame
and become responsible
for what i do..

allow me to be sad
let me feel this pain
let me understand
what joy is worth..

don't stop me from being
what i am now
this will change
let me be honest
i will evolve..

let me fall, i will rise
let me find
how high i need to climb
just be with me
and allow me to be..

It's so sad that we so often only learn from our mistakes; only appreciate something when it is gone. Only give with the notion of receiving something in return . . .and the irony continues . . But such is the meaning of life - and such gives us the colors and the depths that makes it oh so interesting. Very beautiful and meaningful poem. Thanks for sharing.

Peace, Light and Love, CordieB.
