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..
