When I'm Ready

Here I am in my world
Oblivious to all else
These same walls surround me
Always enclosing
Yet the door stands open
I only need face my fear
And walk out of this cage.

Here I am in my world

Oblivious to all else

These same walls surround me

Always enclosing

Yet the door stands open

I only need face my fear

And walk out of this cage.

For most of my life

These walls closed me in

Now they are my haven

A safe place from the world

I can come and go as I please

No one to dey me my place

Here I feel safe

I want to break free

I want to scream

Don't tell me what to do

I'm my own person

I make the decision

Should I decide to hide

Who are you to tell me otherwise?

The same familiar objects

If only placed differently

I am out growing this space

As everyone does at a point

And yet, here I remain

Everyone else, gone, moved on

I am the only one left here

I want to break free

I want to scream

Don't tell me what to do

I'm my own person

I make the decision

Should I decide to hide

Who are you to tell me otherwise?

I will break out when I'm ready

It won't be too late

I'm on my own schedule

Don't worry if I hesitate

This is who I am

Let me be free

I will break free

I will scream

Don't tell me what to do

I am my own person

I will make the decision

I won't always hide

Don't tell me otherwise

"When I'm ready"
Brilliant!
Words couldn't describe how much I loved it!
I guess I sorta felt a connection!
Fantastic Job!

Deep anguish and trouble portrayed brilliantly via use of simple words, but profound poetry.

Very well written indeed, Astraea.

Keep writing
