I want to be me

I want to be me.

Not someone's daughter, not someone's wife or sister.

Just me.

Appendage free and baggage free.

I want to enjoy the unadulterated joy of soaking in my own persona.

Even if it's for today.

The strong me, the vulnerable me, the happy me and the angry me! .

I want to be me!

A woman of desire, a woman with an intense need to be heard or simply a woman who wants to be her.

I don't need the diamonbds or the free drinks that come up to celebrate me on one day out of the 365

The freedom top choose who I want to be. Or don't

The feeling of being safe when I claim the spaces at night and

To make my own rules and not cow down

Beyond the shackes and chains that bind me

Is all I want........ I just want to be me.
