MaturityA Poem by Ashley BrodberYou've been in control of me long enough! Because of you birthdays have flown straight by me, liming and just being with people swiped from beneath my feet You robbed me of the sense I would've had If you'd not been in my way these things would be mine and life wouldn't be so tough
You're to be blamed for my timidity And the reason of my lack of worldly sensibility Yes you very well know you're at fault! If I'd allowed myself these experiences I'd not have to be taught
Look at me now, but a frail little bird Surrounded by packs of wolves at almost every turn No clue as to how to fend for myself I'd be better off you're porcelain doll on a shelf
But now that I can see through your lies and pessimism Your cruelty and baneful jabs will be the yeast to my positivism Your tricks won't work on me any more You're no longer my advesrary, of that you can be sure
So I bid u adieu o fear of mine I'm letting you go now because it's time to shine Watch me glisten at the top of my game You tried to keep me down once but it's you alone down there remain © 2012 Ashley Brodber |
