Untitled Poem

This poem is written for my cousin and her bandmates.

you clipped my wings

so i couldn't fly

you locked me and chained me

inside a four-cornered room



i reasoned to your heart

your mind refused to listen

you said you love me too much

you'd rather see me in chains



you sealed my emotions

you bottled my dreams

i say enough



i wanna spread my wings

fly through the night

soar to the highest mountain

and be free like a bird



you gotta believe in me

so i can start believing myself

let me fall to the ground

so i'll learn how to stand



all i am, i am because of you

let go of my hand

i will show you

i'll be the best i can be
