Let Loose

Tamed by the principles of generations gone by, I dare to uphold the name of my ancestors, Perfect like a Princess I must potray, I lived to please my masters, my father and mother. Society could not trace a fault in me. I didn't know who I was under all these clothes,make-up,books that I had to be drowned into. One night when the Moon stood proud and gleaming, I was going to explore,explore outside ,the night ,anywhere but here. I tiptoed like a mince and sneaked out doors.. The night was young as i strolled in the street feeling light and energetic . I wore a light flowered dress that I could feel the wind blow through. I saw a bar a place i always wanted to go and have some fun and a couple sips to. That night I gulped a few down one to many but I didn't care. I danced the night away and no one knew, This mask that I wore all my life: the clothes,the hair ,the make-up was all gone.. I walked again on the street looking for somewhere that spoke to me . I found a park with swings, tree,slides lol it was so "me" I swung as as high as i could,I sang so loud it echoed,I laughed .. I was usually numb all the time had to show the world I was subtle ,simple but i lied to myself and I had to lie to the world. I walked home and tiptoed back to my bed, I felt relieved ,happy I could do it again. The masters were fast asleep and I got to experience life on the street, I felt so free. That night was special to me but I still planned sometimes and did it again. They never knew but soon I will tell..
