I do not want to be a hostage to your shadow. I do not want to live my life standing behind the bars of your fears. I do not want my vision of the world to be tainted by your dreams. I do not want to be a prisoner of your experience.
I know you have made me who I am. I know you have invested a life time in me.
I know all these years you have stood by me. I know you have always given me all that I needed. I know you have always wanted the best for me.
I have taken from you all that you had to offer. I have given to you a lot that you did not deserve.
But I just want you to accept me for who I am. I just need you to understand that I am a person of my own. I have a mind and will of my own. And if you force me to fit the frame you have built for me. I will stop being me. That very moment I will stop being everything that makes me who I am.
I do not want to be an ungrateful child. I do not want to leave you when you need me the most. I do not want to betray your love.
I want to shine under your gaze. I want to blossom in the warmth of your smile.
I only want to be able to love you my own way.
