Afraid to Let Go

"I'll support you through everything."

"I'll take care of you."

"You can do anything."

"I'm here for you."

"Everything is possible."

If everything is possible, then why can't you tell,

I

Just

Want

To

Be

Myself.

But the world still spins,

And your chains still hold

You tell me I've sinned,

And under your pressure I fold.

Is it too hard to say

"I have no daughter, just a son."

Please don't let me go, I'm your only one.

Please don't tell me I'm delusional, that it's all in my head.

Please, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'll say nothing instead.

Please, I don't understand what I did wrong.

Please, I'm trying, but I just don't belong.

I thought family was supposed to care forever.

But you tell me that I will never

Be

Myself.
