Throw Away

I let myself go and threw it all away. I don't need to be picture perfect any longer.

I have grown old with grace and humor. To hide the pain and shame of decades of deception.

No longer will you control me , society, community, church nor government.

You can't imprison my mind and drown my soul. I'm throwing it all away.

What you made me. What you need me to become. I am not your puppet nor your scapegoat. I throw it all away. I'm throwing you away.

YES.... now that's a powerful poem Barbara. It's like throwing all of the burden the pain and all of the complication out of your system. It gives out the "I am who I am, you don't like me
Good, I don't wake up every morning to impress you anyway" kinda feeling lol :0. I loved that attitude. Nice going ;)
