It's Mine, Written August 14, 2010

It's Mine

A future to hold in the palm of my hand,
In my palm alone.
Unfortunately for me
This is something I've never known.
Never quite free,
To stumble into uncertainty.

A life I control,
Manipulated by me.
Not a genie to others
Being what they want me to be.
Wishes all around,
But none are my own.
This life for me has never been mine alone.

They are wanting what is best,
And it's what I should want
I guess.

But this aching
Itching
In my chest
Constantly reminds me
My heart will not rest.

The hardest
Most difficult
Is around the bend.
And even though I love them
My life is not theirs
To end.
