Pull Me Down, Push Me Up

I need to move, I need to breathe

shake the things that pull on me

hold me down, slow me down.

I need to run, I need to fly

let go of the things that I

just cant try to be anymore.

Maybe I need to just

open up my eyes so I can see

what's always been there

right in front of me.

Roads, which one will

I take in this world so open?

This world so wide open,

I’m marked;

scared

from your affection.

Every day is an open page

a brand new start,

a fresh clean slate

that gives me room to breathe.

now it's up to me

find my best and lose my worst.

I know I need to make my mistakes

and leave them in the past,

as it’s been told to me too many times;

in my lifetime.

I will make the most of what I have.

"Every day is an open page a brand new start"—my feelings exactly. Nice write. Bravo! Peace and Light, dah

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
