The Bridge by Chimane
*sometimes my parents seem to over-shelter me. But when I look closely at what they're keeping me from I am thankful for their love and protection. please vote*
There is a bridge I want to cross
Taking me to other places
Helping me expose myself
To new things and new faces.
I desperately want to go over that bridge
And be somewhere diverse
But two obstacles are standing in my way
Like a person under a curse.
They keep me from going everywhere
Over the bridge is no exception
They are my parents and they say,
“Over there are lies and deception!�
I don’t know why I don’t disobey
Their iron-clad rules
And go on over that long bridge
Which seems so very cool.
I guess that deep in my heart
I know what lies beneath
All of the flowers and the beautiful trees
That take me outside my protective sheath.
I guess I know that what is there is really not good for me
Yet why I want it and still run towards it
May always baffle me.
I know what’s over there can hurt me
But I think I’m tough enough
To dodge and duck before the deception takes me
And turns my sheath to a slough.
So about that bridge that I wish to cross
That my parents keep me from
I guess I can be thankful they have my back
And are keeping me one happy chum.
