Letting go

By Jennifer Wagner

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

They tell you to go ahead but then they tell you NO why do they confuse us like this which way should we go? They say its for the best, to hold us back for now we don't yet know the limits or what life will allow Every time we do wrong, some how they know how is it that they figure it out? what is it that we show? They want to watch us grow and show us the ways of life they are always there for us through all the pain and strife Many of us show no respect to the ones that guide our way But they keep hanging in there like something is makeing them stay Maybe its the love for us that they have come to know or maybe its the fear that one day they'll let you go.
