"You Are Not Your Own"

The mind and the heart

Fight for the right of feeling and emotion

They beg the hands not to let go so easily

Not until every avenue is explored

And resources depleted...

Then maybe...

We will release that thing that weighs upon us

Draining our strength

Staining our moments within our daily lives

The realization hits

Second chances have that name for a reason

And are not privilege or a guaranteed right

Stop holding onto people that keep letting got of you

No one wants to feel as forgettable as their silence makes you feel

If it be your will and wish

To walk away...

That is your right

Give colour and light

Truth told in bold lines drawn in black

Don't give shades of gray filled with darkness and lies

We have boundaries and “do not cross” lines for a reason

We should not compromise ourselves otherwise

By crossing them when we are not ready to do so

Because tired...

Angry...

Sad...

Among many others things are those who are left waiting for what was promised to them...
