Spread My Wings and Fly

Breathing, looking, feeling and walking
 Deciding, choosing, living and talking
 Just like a developing child; an adolescent learning
 Just like an endless beginning a genuine yearning 

Independent, supported or alone
 Beg, borrow, or maybe one day I'll even own
 There is definitely a light and it is calling me
 Close my eyes spread my wings and I will fly free

No more shame, pretend, cheap smiles and lies
 No more ifs, buts, maybes or whys?
 Who are you? What do you want? How do you sleep?
 I know now I am not your possession to abuse and keep

You were right, it's dramatic, and all for show
 But it was you in the lead role, so desperate to grow
 Like a parasite you tried to consume and destroy my life
 Like a human being I tried to be your daughter,and friend 

Go back to where you came from; it is what you do best
 Go back to being nothing,; an annoying little pest
 And when you get there be sure look up high
 Can you see me beaming brightly, lighting up the sky

Each night I am reminded that you are evil, selfish and vile
 Each night I am reminded how lucky I am, blessed and smile
 You should see us now you've gone; happy, confident and born again
 All our own work, they erased you and survived any pain

It was much easier than I thought; you can't miss what was never there
 But unlike you, I did feel love, I wanted to grow, experience and share
 What a waste, a pointless thought and an unwanted gift
 All you saw was credibility, an excuse and blame to shift

It is getting closer, that beautiful light calling me
 Close my eyes spread my wings and I am flying free
 It's over, just give up and please let us be
 Never again imprisoned, now and forever I'm holding the key

Your self-pity and fairy tales fall on deaf ears 
I geuss ive just filtered you out after all these years
 Your stories and lies create no sympathetic tears
 One by one everyone is hearing the truth
 T.R.U.T.H. comes with REAL evidence and proof

I swear this is the final night you will give me no sleep
 There's no master plan or cunning revenge for me to reap
 You are a lonely now,an idiot, bully,and gambling fool
 You've lost again; I've got it all
 Do you feel small?
 Pathetic and cruel
 Down, down you fall
 At last I am standing tall
 ...We've got it all

Is this real or fictional? Whatever the case, the poet is in charge of her pen and writes so outstandingly well. Kudos! #7.
