Rapunzel

I’m crying alone
trying to appreciate what is bestowed
Letting it sink in..
I’m still in their INN.

When could I see,
My own self flying above the sea.
Telling them, Hey! My life is mine.
Please don’t deny,

I want to explore,
To stand in my own galore.
When could I feel?
When could I deal?

Let me get out!
Let me shout!
Let it be me,
Please don’t keep me.

I ain’t happy no more.
Please don’t hug me anymore.
I need not a prince,
To get me out of this.

I need not any.
Just please bear with me.
Let me try own wings.
Let me keep my things.

I know you trust,
I’m old enough.
I did my part,
Please do your part.

It isn’t enough?
Please don’t just cough.
Please accept
This isn’t a test.

I’m not asking for permission,
Acceptance is my mission.
I can’t be wholly happy
If I know I have hurt anybody.

But please.
Please release.
I’m hurting.
I’m crying.

Strong my hair isn’t.
Don’t want to keep it hidden.
Don’t want to make
The same mistake,

Trying to turn back
Temptations to crack
I can’t do it alone.
Please don’t go on.

I’m begging you…
PLEASE.
