Ashlee Laforce Poet Free verse

Freedom

dear 'lovin' parents
im taking my leave of you 
we'll see if you really miss me 
im done with all the hurt you inflict
even though i dont have any scars on the outside 
i have them where it matters most
im taking my freedom out of your hands and 
doin something for myself to actually accomplish what i want
to do in life without havin your reproving eyes condem 
me everytime i come home from school,
im tired of all the names you call me and 
the things you tell the other kids about me 
so thank you for my freedom and have a nice 
life of being control freaks and hypocrits.
i have my freedom in my grasp so this is 
goodbye

Poet Destroyer A March 28, 2012 at 8:22 AM Ashlee, wow... I was only 14 when I gained all the freedom in the world... It was tough...fun but tough.... I did not have the above problems..I was just an out of control freak... No one could sustain me... I hope this is just a poem...but,only you know why you need the freedom..I can relate in some ways...pd
