Freedom I’m tired of holding back what I really want to tell you These guys you have been with treat you like shit and I don’t like it I have told you how I feel but you are scared to hurt our friendship What if I think we would be best together and no one could tear us apart But yet over and over again you let our friendship get in the way of our happiness You don’t understand the pain I go through trying to control myself when you’re with him Every time you need to talk I listen no matter when or where I am, I set everything aside Why can’t you see that I am what you need, but you’re blinded by what you want That time you told me you want a decent guy, I wanted to yell look in front of you No matter what I do it never seems to be good enough for you and each time I fall farther from you Every time I fall farther from you it seems like the world is crashing down on me But to me I think you lay your head down at night really wishing I was your man When all along after you talk to me all you do is laugh at me because I really think you like me To you it’s not about listening, it’s about what I’ll buy you when I take you shopping later If your love has to be bought then I don’t want to be buyer because your love to me is would be worthless As I walk into the main building I wish I was the one you were running to, to have that good morning kiss When I walk by you in school I wish I was walking with you so I could give you that last hug The one that keeps you thinking of me all class period, keeping you anxious to see me when the bell rings It has been eleven years in June we have known each other and I can’t tell you three simple words You are the only reason I have strived to do these crazy things, because I just want to impress you I’ve been searching for freedom, but the place that I have not looked is right before me Having you walk by me while I hold my breath knowing you’re with the wrong man drives me crazy I just want to grab your hand and twirl you into my arms and tell you that you are free from this point on Thinking about you has turned into an obsession, because no matter where I turn, I see you When I lay my head down to sleep every night I think to myself, why didn’t I tell you how I feel? But after I started thinking to myself I realized I’m better off without you There is someone out there who’ll pay attention Somebody that’ll care, that sees me for who I am I can’t change who I am for who doesn’t like me Things between us would never have worked You are too boy crazy and I couldn’t trust you I have wasted my time trying to earn your love When I was blind to the one who loved me Freedom has been staring me down all along To all the guys that try and go for the most beautiful girl out there All the while you go for that girl there is another girl going for you While you are being shot down, look at who is there to pick you up If having complete freedom means settling for a different girl Then stop wasting your time with the one that laughs at you Guys stop paying all your attention to the girls’ flaws because If you do that then you will never have the one you deserve To all the girls that catch the men that don’t see you Stay strong because one day he will realize that you were there Everything you put into having him will pay off, it takes time Thanks to you we guys have someone to catch us whether we know it or not After all the pain we put you through at first, we will make up for it In the end you will be able to snuggle close to the man of your dreams Do not worry about your flaws; with them we will love you This poem may not stick to the normal rules of a poem But does it have to stick to certain rules to be called a poem From the bottom of my heart these words have been spoken They have been spoken to all the guys and girls who lie Lie to themselves and everyone around them because In the end when they lay their heads down to sleep If they are not with the one they love, then they are not free Sometimes you have to go out of the box to be happy That means that if having a lower class girl makes you happy Then having her over the upper class girl is the best way to go Or if having a nerd over a jock shows you guys can be sweet Then take a chance with the nerd and see how far you two go Have complete freedom with yourself before you have it with others To me this poem speaks out to everyone It may not have a specific rhyme or meter But it has a deep meaning behind it Every day I watch people get hurt They are hurt because they make wrong choices If you are a critic reading this poem Please do not judge based on how it is written Judge on the meaning behind each word Look for the compassion or thought <Thanks for reading this poem> |
