Unfortunate Richness Poem by Jade Blaydes

Just when I feel like I have it all figured out
Somebody comes in speaking with words of doubt
And when I fee like I can do it all on my own
People just won't seem to leave me alone
I fear only for my future because of you
Not allowing me to even test what I can do
How else do you ever expect me to succeed
If you alone tell me and give me all I need
How am I to know for myself if you're right
If I can't test these wings, built for my flight
The closer I get to my journey's end
I feel as if my heart cannot mend
Being on my own for the first time in forever
Not having you here to put me back together
Did you think you could keep me in those bars
When all I ever wanted was to chase the stars
I may will get burnt but how else will I learn
For pain is deeper than a flesh wound burn
Or are you just in fear that I won't return
You taught me what I need but it's my turn
I know that you think that I never listen
But going on my own will help your words sink in
