Raw Emotion Poems

I Can, alone

Where will you go?

What will you achieve?

What will make you accomplish your dreams?

What do you want? 

What do you care for?

How will you know when to give encore?

But what if I don't have an end goal?

But what if I don't need a turning post?

I don't know what I want.

I don't know where I'll go.

I just want to be free.

I want space to dream.

And the dream does not need to be reality. 

Because I know that I will get there once I let it go.

And I understand I will be grounded in what I already know.

And I just want to express the way

we all feel lost but can be found on the day

we devote to our strength 

and commit to our will power. 

I just do not want to be limited to anyone's hour.

But I don't live in a fairytale.

I don't live in the fantasy.

Because, with this potential, I can't afford any casualty.

I have a reputation.

I'm the perfect example.

Just look a little more closely.

See where I've been trampled?

I hold myself to high.

And I've held myself to low.

I shouldn't need validation. 

I shouldn't have to be loved.

I can give it to myself.

I can trust my own value.

I can rewrite my future.

Just don't let me get attached to you.
