Strings Attached

I don't know. Its been a thought in my mind for quite some time...

There she stands

alone.... 

cold.....

Wondering who she really is,

what she'd be like without these strings attached.

What it's like to move her own way,

what it's like to be herself. 

sorrow....

lonely....

Always making mistakes and never perfect,

no one is.

They make her what they want,

never see what she wants. 

A lonely girl who has a heart of love,

but stifles who she is. 

sad....

numb...

Her name comes and goes with the wind,

only a whisper. 

Tossed this way and turned that way,

there she stands tied up and controlled. 

All she wants is freedom,

but it's never granted. 

Confused.....

scared........

imperfect...

outcast.......

The wind would blow hard,

her hair would get in her face.

She'd fall back with the mighty power,

into a world entirely her own.

Where no strings are attached,

she can be herself.

Happy.....

cheerful....

Is all she really wants,

is to be herself.

I'm reminded of the song "Unforgiven" by Metallica.... you can never please everyone that is why you must live for yourself... living for others is nothing more than a robot on display. The way ou expressed this is very powerful.

I admire your candor and the ability to plainly speak about the feelings in 'the girl'. You express the feelings and emotions well giving just enough information and imagery for us to understand the level of plight that she is harboring.. great job..

You made that common situation real. This happens to me a lot lately, so it kind of got to me. It's weird how you have shown the relevance of knowing that such things happen. That people sometimes don't get to choose their own lives, driven by fear, their past, or just by other people's dreams and motives. You made it both relatable and powerful, so a person can see the character and BE the character at the same time.

Great piece.
