How is one to remain in a situation
Or relationship that keeps them from being
All that he or she can be?
With holding them from growth, success,
And the ability to spread there wings and
Fly free.
How can someone really expect another
To go on living a disappointing and very
Painful lie?
"There's no way" once you've given all that
You could give; it's time to start living, no more
Can you sit there letting your life pass you by.
How can one fight off or fight against
What or who the heart desirous?
That something or someone who is meant
To remain for all time's, whose love will never
Die off, fade away, or grow tired.
How can one not enjoy the rainbow after
A bad storm?
It's something to be able to just look upon
It, to feel the happiness it brings you inside
Too finally, at last see beauty at its true form.
HOW,
How can one deny what he or she feels?
In life we are given choice's, sometimes it may not
Be easy, but it's up to us to choose what is
True and what we believe to be 100% real.
(I Choose You)
I really relate to this poem, especially the first couple of stanzas. My first relationship was much like this; I am adventurous and want to be out, seeing and doing things, but my bf at the time never wanted to do so. I was with him for four years and they were a considerably stagnant time. I wasn't able to be all that could be because I let him hold me back.
ReplyDeleteAfter we broke up, the rainbow did come and I went to PA to be a camp counselor, met loads of people from around the world at this simple sleep-way camp and have had an insatiable desire to see the world and do everything I want to do (include write my book). I don't regret my four years of being stuck; they were my motivation to leave and let go. And now I'm living here in Vegas - another thing I would have never been able to do with him - hanging out, sharing life with people as awesome as you. God takes us on some extraordinary rides sometimes, and I am so thankful (and inspired).
