I'm An Eagle

[poetrob68]

Once, a dream was born.
Vision of hope.
Suddenly, it all changed
I grew and who noticed?
Matured and who cared?
Giving me no credit,
You refuse to let me go.
Keeping me firm in your grip,
Robbing me of a life I deserve.

I was a dream.
Vision of hope.
Where is your shame?
Don't you see the harms?
What was my crime?
Choosing the path of freedom.
Maturity
Yet, you do not see.

The dream's become a nightmare.
I've lost so much.
Yet, you want more.
Keep quiet.
Enjoy being under your control.
Also wanting me to be happy.
You provide for me.

Is this how God intends me to live?
Never knowing love?
Losing blessings?
Being left out of the dream.
Does our relationship have to be toxic?
Out of control?
Can't you just stop and let me go?

If you love me, give me back my wings.
I'm an eagle waiting to take flight.
Soar beyond the sunset.
Build my nest high on a mountain.
When I go, a piece of you comes.
I build my life on your principles.
I'm an eagle. Let me spread my wings.

Those times that obstacles prevent us from flying are like training camps... preparing us to be strong eagles, soaring higher than even our dreams imagined we could. It will be a sight to see.....when you finally spread your wings and soar.
