Inhale : exhale

Ashley Marie has added a photo to the pool:

Inhale : exhale

I want to ride free
I want to know that this life is mine and not anybody else's
I want you to trust me to know that if I do get hurt I can pick myself back up
You feel that you're preventing me from getting hurt but you don't realize that you are hurting me.
I was faced with a photograph of you the other day.
Faced with a very blunt question:
" is this who you want to be?"
He said a he pointed to the people in the photograph
I shook my head " hell no"
" this is who you are allowing yourself to become"
These words scare me more than anything
I don't want to be stifled of my abilities
Of my talents
Of overturning the world like I know I am capable of doing
I know I can
If only you didn't hold me back
Tie me down
And cage me in
You don't even let me express me
My thoughts my fashion
My feelings.
I feel like I'm throwing myself against a wall.
Repeatedly
And it's a very familiar wall
One I've been trying to break for years andmost likely years to come.
I sometimes wonder if these are just the run of the mill complaints that any adolescent child would offer:
But I'm not the only one who can see this cage that is locked so tightly
I'm not the only one.
And that is the only thing that I can confide in.
That I'm not alone.
