Every night, you turn of my lamp
but you never turn it on in the morning
so my inside is dark and damp
because i there has never been enough light to see the world
Every one says i have your face
but i would do anything to have someone elses
then i would be free from your brace
and i would be able to see the world you were hiding from me
Ever time i mention my chance
to live life to its fullest
you shoot me that glance
that locks my cage door
Ever time i talk to my new light
my heart pounds and i hope his does too
please, for once, don't slight
what i really need in my life
because and over protective parent is not on that list
Please tell me what you think

Is this a personal poem or an sympathetic one? either way its brilliant

My parents aren't over protective, theyre divorcing and have theyre own stuff to worry about
I love the way you kept it kinda suspenseful about who was the illusion of love until the last line. very efective!

I like this. I can totally empathise with you. I love the use of the idea of being caged in, it flows so well.

I TRULY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL. MY PARENTS ARE OVER PROTECTIVE TOO.
