Blinded
Couldn’t see out of the blinds over my eyes,
All the lies I had told.
I was hurt and you me let down.
All the limitations,
And barriers I had crossed.
All I had to do was believe in myself,
And my heart would stay strong.
Crying and trying to break through,
I can do anything I set my mind to.
They can’t see what I can,
I am strong,
And I can do at anything.
I can reach my dreams,
And be whatever I want to be.
Just set me free.
Couldn’t breathe when you were comforting me,
All the fears I had to let go.
Can’t believe I let you down,
Didn’t think you trusted me.
I broke away when you were still clinging.
I lost the one thing I used to turn to,
All had to do was tell you the truth.
Now all you ever do is ignore me,
But how can I blame you.
I was with you through it all,
The goodness and the downfalls.
Thought you let me down,
When it was I who didn’t believe in myself.
If you want what is best for you,
And best for me.
You will let me go from your toxic swings,
And I can finally be free.

This piece was about my mom and I. We have a toxic relationship. Cannot wait for college! Or will she pick that out for me too.
