Free Poem by mona martinez

let me be free,
does it kill you?
that i want to be me?
just let me go,
i'll be fine,
let me learn,
but, always care,
let me explore,
don't hold me back,
don't hold me down,
let me be all i can be,
but, keep me close in your heart,
be there when i need a hug,
be there when my world becomes too much,
but, let go just enough,
to be who i want,
but, always lend a hand,
when i ask for help,
but, better yet,
i just ask to be free.
