You pinned my past to my present,
Chipped away at my heart.
Marked your territory,
Showing all that you own me,
Even though you're gone.
I need to break free of your reign,
Releasing the anxiety,
You have bestowed upon me.
Learning to trust in those,
Silently waiting for me.
The confusion is still so real,
The fear still existing.
Not sure why they can't see,
Who I long to be,
When I keep hiding the real me.
Wanna go back to who I used to be.
Carefree, excitable and free.
Without compromising who I was made to be.
Back around to that childhood, me.
Keep me from being jaded,
Smooth out the edges life brings,
Find the boy mom misses so deeply.
