"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 go of you
No one wants to feel as forgettable as their silence makes you feel
If it be their will and wish
To walk away...
That is their right
But please....
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...
