You say I'm the problem, The cause of every storm in this house. But I’m not your puppet, Not a robot you built To carry your undone duties. Let me breathe, I’m human too I break apart, I feel And I grow and heal. I know you suffer, For me, for all of us. But why must we all bleed, Why must I be the grave For pain you never buried. I can’t breathe here. I’m a ghost beside you. I want to run away.. Far away from you, But not like this. We were bound by love, Now we break each other To stay close, But it’s time to cut the leash. Please, let me go. I deserve to stumble To fall and still find joy. I deserve to fly, Even with broken wings. I deserve to fall, And still rise whole. I deserve to stand, Not as your reflection But as myself And leave this nest, At least once. I'm messy with my pen When I translate my soul to you.
