When I was with you
all i am was seen through your eyes
but you left
then I found out there was so much more to me
than what you would let me be.
You made me feel like i was normal
that i could aspire
to no more
than that.
But baby you were so wrong,
so wrong
about that.
And now that I've said goodbye
and you've let me spread my wings
I have been inspired by you
and have flown much higher than you could have ever seen.

Coming of age once you are out of somebody's shadow is nice. It is exhillirating when you realise your true potential. Very nice poem.
