I can feel it
deep down in my soul,
there is something there
I can’t control.
It is slowly rising
to the surface
to inform me
of my new purpose.
I hope it is going to
break me free,
so, I can finally be
the real me.
I’ve spent too long
being told what to do,
it is time to launch
my personal coup.
No more worrying
about what others say,
I’m looking ahead
and going my way.

A Wonderful soulful write! It is a great freedom to live life as ones true self.
I often wonder what so many people are afraid of when choosing to hold back so much of their own soul contributions to the world? It really shouldn’t matter what others say…it is a Big world that we live in, there will always be someone who will like each of us in place of those who rather not!
I like your poem very much!

Ah, you’re welcome! Each poem that you have written carry many messages for your readers to relate to! I was trying to locate your write about the ‘Critic’ but somehow seem to have overlooked that one. It rang true! Nice job!
