Do you know my greatest fear?
my greatest temptation?
Do you know what brings me joy?
Do you know my biggest frustration?
Did you know I can turn off my feelings at will,
to protect my heart?
At some point, I fear it will be too late
to turn them back on.
Do you know I am not a prisoner,
or your child, or YOU?
I'm not ready to die to my pleasures,
or give up the things I want and dream of.
Do you know you're killing my spirit?
Do you remember it was my spunk and spirit
you fell in love with in the first place?
I haven't changed, but you have.
