Step, Step, Step
My palms were shaking...
My head was flaking
I didn't know where I was going.
My map was broken,
I'd lost my token,
But, nothing worked anymore...
crawl... crawl... crawl...
Where I've lost my battle, Where you'd won your war,
When the guns were up... We were just torn...
When I put my signal in the air, oh, you finally screamed...
Out to the world... "JUST FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS"
step.. step.. step..
This isn't a dream, this isn't a wish,
This is a goal that my gold heart kissed.
This isn't a war, it feels like a party.
This isn't a snack, it's a meal, whole and hearty.
step. step. step.
I've tied you down, But loosened my grip.
Held you close, but took you for a blip..
I've kept you in my heart... But, let us break a part.
Your lies must subside, in my naive mind,
So much for, "forever" those words have really tried...
Run, Run, Run
Tried to rip me of my pride, to make me stay..
To make me forget, I'll go far someday...
Like playing with fire you only proved to be...
A danger to yourself, and a poison to me...
Gone, Gone, Gone...

I'm Nancy (14), I wrote this poem in hopes that some people, who have gone through a similar situation. I was in a relationship with someone who continuously hurt me and it was hard to leave, we argued all the time and but when we last spoke, he told me to focus on me, and follow my dream. to let him go and move on, because honestly-- that's what needed to be done and that's what happened. upon leaving, I felt free and more happy.. so I hope when people read this, they can make a story in their heads about this, or connect it to something they are or have been going through. I hope people enjoy this, but most importantly, I hope they take something from this and apply it to their own life.
