free me please!

i am not your prized possession

i am not your pet

i am not your trophy

meant to stay quiet and delicate

in the precious glass case

that you've inherited from

your paternal side

of the family

i cannot be contained by the

four walls of your mind

i am reckless

i am dangerous

i am not meant to be stuck 

i do not wish to stay

i wish to run

and run more

till my lungs

give out

and my feet

collapse beneath me 

till the light

drains out of my eyes

and the last words 

that leave my lips

will be

"let go!"

because i

will never

stop fleeing from

emotion
