You rattle cages

Its not
their way.
Its yours.
Its lonely,
and liberating at the same time.
Your independence.
Your path.
As you move
like a solider
in camouflage,
you know your path
is so different from
your parents.
Strength
and determination
wrap around
you like a
warm blanket.
Do they see?
can they feel
what you feel.
There is a hole
in your wall.
You leave it open
just in case.
the words flow
out and into that
part of you
that needs the
love.
As the words are
spoken
you hold your
tears.
you let them in
and hold it
like the most precious
thing you own.
I love you
as you are.
I love you as
you
are.
You continue
to rattle cages
so that you
can allow
yourself
to own those
words.
My love
let them in.
They love you as
you are.
You love yourself
as you are.
free yourself.
