Rootless

6

I'm the one that left but you're the one who lost me-

Taking advantage of what you had, seeing me as an idea rather than my own person,

Your purpose for me was expectations of who I could never be,

I just wanted support not hurt, gain without pain,

The same opportunity and equality as everyone else,

But you never understood what you were holding when you did, 

A foreign object there for your run,

But I was more than something to hold, and I turned rather bold,

And your image was getting bored,

I was tired of being floored-

not heard,

So I left into a different world,

 where my voice

 wasn't mold.
