Today

Today

I release obligations

Ropes

Woven with manipulation and guilt

Once tied

To my body

I untie them

My body

Hurt and sore

Will no longer ache

From your hold

I release

Expectations

To perform

For one who takes

Expectations

Will become

Unexpected

Today

I grab my power

And wield it

To lift myself

Out of the depths

Of where I was pushed

Today

I release

I rise

I become

Who I have shunned

Who I have feared

Who I know to be true

Me
