you say you love me
you say
you love me
like its
drinking poison from a cup
you say
i haven’t changed
hard headed
stuck in my ways
i have grown
in ways you can’t see
because you won’t look
to you i am trapped
in the body of a teenager with a wandering spirit
caught under the control of another
free will?
never heard of it
until now
i am a woman
you say
you love me
but
can you see
the efforts the steps the wisdom the process the years of therapy
shaping my mind
i am not the same person
yet my soul meets yours halfway
you say
you love me
in the middle
maybe you do
but can you love me
truly as the person i am the person i want to be
do you have the patience to let me grow
you say
you love me
but i am calling your
bluff

I love the way this poem moves, both in form and content.
‘free will? never heard of it until now i am a woman’ in particular was a really cool progression. All around a good poem.
such an active poem with such emotional depth. totally been here before.
very nice work!
