You turned music on
And told me to dance
But somehow I twisted
My ankle by chance
So you set up the
Microphone and said "sing"
I parted my lips, but
No voice could I bring
You picked me up, let go
And told me to fly
But my wings were torn…
I fell from so high
Tight rope, trapeze
You had me try them all
But yet I always 
Found some way to fall
You opened the door
And pushed me up to
I tripped on the threshold,
Just couldn’t go through
I looked away from the light
When you guided my way
Scared to walk on my own
But I said I’ll be okay
I may trip and I’ll stumble
I’ll get lost on my own
I’ll be scared, I’ll get hurt
And I’ll face the unknown
Every failure, every attempt
I’ve followed your track
I didn’t care where I was…
But now I want my life back.

**I don't really know how I feel about this one.... had some
different ideas and they ended up here. And I didn't quite
know how to sew them together. Maybe at least someone will
be able to relate?

Wow Chelsea youre really an amazing writer. When I read your poems, at least more of the later ones, I can truly feel your emotions. One, you do such a good job of expressing yourself that the reader can feel your emotions. And second, when I read your work, I can completely relate to how you feel. I dont know what happened in your life to make you feel that way, or if you still do feel like that. And if so i hope that you will feel better soon. Idk if it would be weird to you but if you want to talk Ill listen
