I want

The best poem I've ever come across, read it in a magazine eons ago! (hah i'm so old not!)
It's so true through the hard times... when you want to hide, but want to stand tall and proud too.

*~*~**

I want.

I want to let go
Just be free,
So I am happy
Like I want to be.

I want to overcome
The pain I feel,
I want to run
'Til my heart can heal.

I want to forget
The problems on my mind,
Just turn my back
And forget what's behind.

I want to shield
My love away,
I want to ignore
What my heart has to say

I want to be me
I don't want to hide,
The person I really am
I want to decide.
