I Am Free Poem by Melissa Desiree Reddy

HE WALKED BACK INTO MY LIFE
AND IN ONE BLOW I WAS TAKEN BACK
BACK TO HOW I USE TO FEEL
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO CONSUME ME WITH YOU

I WANT OUT, YOU HURT ME BEFORE
YES YOU MAKE ME LAUGH, YES I AM COMFORTABLE WITH YOU
YES, I DO WANT YOU, YES I HAVE STRONG FEELINGS FOR YOU,
BUT YOU PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS YOU TOY WITH MY HEART

YOU KNOW WHICH STRINGS TO PULL
YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO WORM YOUR WAY IN
YOU WANT WHATEVER THIS IS WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT
I WONT DO THAT

I THINK I HAVE CONQUERED YOU NOW I HAVE MADE MY DECISION
YES YOU ARE HOT BUT I LOVE ME ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT
WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE,
SO NO MORE APPEALS, JUST A FREEING OF YOU AND ME

ME TO BE ME, AND YOU TO BE YOU,
IT WAS A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE
I LOVE YOU FOR IT
OUR LOVE WAS SUPERFICAL, JUST LUST NOT LOVE

I AM SORRY, BUT NOW I HAVE ENTERED INTO A SPACIOUS PLACE
YOU, HERE, CROWDS IT.
THERE CANNOT BE MUCH MORE BETWEEN US,
FRIENDS WE WILL ALWAYS BE,
LOVERS IS A PAST SCENE,
THIS IS A NEW ACT, NEW CHAPTER, AND YOU AND I ARE NO LONGER THE MAIN CHARACTERS

LET’S LOOK BACK AND SMILE,
IT WAS GOOD WITH YOU, IT JUST WAS NOT EVERLASTING
I WANT MY HAPPILY EVER AFTER,
MY PRINCE CHARMING IS STILL TO BE REVEALED,
I TRIED CASTING YOU AS THE LEAD,
BUT OHH MY HEART IT SANK, YOU NEVER OWNED “PRINCE CHARMING” THE ROLE.
SO ONCE AGAIN THE ROLE IS UP FOR GRABS AND I AM EXCITED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF WHO WILL PLAY HIM NEXT………. TO BE CONTINUED
