The hunted I shall not become

By: benice A

The hunted I shall not become

I am not cold,ย just realisticย 
I am not cruel,
just tryna make it through
I will not hold my breath,
cause beneath it all
I want to yell and scream!
I know it's unfair and its only a dream
but i must hold on for a bit more
For the battle is almost over
The key is to set oneself free
Cause Life hurts and
i refuse to become the huntedย 
My mask I shall not use!
Cause i am what i amย 
Fantoms of Expectation and
imperfection I haveย 
perfection is an illusionย 
If only i knew to just stop,
let myself stopย 
Know It's not a dream and
that Firsts were never crossedย 
If only i own up to it
cause i am what i amย 
Life hurts so I became the hunted!
My mask has gone beyond repair! Cause a mere human i amย 
ย i have imperfections and Expectations are poisonย 
cause perfection is an illusionย 
If only time could be turned backย 
So i could return to being cradledย 
For Days of giggles I can see no more!ย 
But do not fret for it is a bore!
My blazing fire,
I thought will never burn out!
Cause firefox i am
Freedom I do not desire!
Cause a mere lie it is
Effort if only i put,
but the pot is now full
If only I knew, I had a bleeding heart
Prophase I would have pleaded,
That my dreams donโ€™t die
For the daisy season is not over yet.ย

Being Me

Wow...this write is raw and emotional. You have used words to great effect. Perfection is not all its cracked up to be I am sure...because if it was there would be at least some perfect people out there...but there's not. We should never be ashamed of our glorious imperfections...they are what makes us human x

thatโ€™s exactly what I was going for. Trying to be perfect leads to unhappiness.ย 

Thanks?. ย
