Let Me Go Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

My family's sweat as I walk across the fire
Breaking all the rules holding my desire
I tried to block it out, I tried to keep them cool
Living a lie I was living like a fool
Tired of running, tired of lies
I told the truth, I heard their cries
I cannot find love so I run away
But there is no place this feeling wont stay
I rescued my pride I buried my shame
My anger has died there is nobody to blame
A new sense of freedom has come over me
I am living my life for who I must be
I try to let them know I dont want to cause them pain
It is not a selfish choice Is it not a stupid game
This is who I am still the person that they know
If they truly love me they need to let me go.
