Tank
Growing up, I had a lot of pressure put on my shoulders,
Making it hard to breathe.
But not from my dad, whose role within the club I was to take over,
Who was proud of me and cheered me on,
But from my mother.
She wanted things her way,
Tried to control every aspect of my life,
And I hated it.
I was miserable and knew I would never have an old lady,
And not just because no one would be able to get past my mother and her tendencies,
But because no one would make me want forever,
Would make me want to give up my freedom, which I was finally tasting,
Until her.
As soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one,
And even though she was out of my league,
That my mother and her family wouldn’t approve,
I fought for her,
And made her mine despite our differences.
She didn’t want to be claimed in the eyes of the club,
And I understood, I got it, but I refused to let her go,
I was ready to begin our life together,
Even if it meant I put the club behind me,
But then she disappeared,
She left me without a word, and I was in limbo.
My mother became unbearable, wanting me to settle down,
But all I wanted was my Buttercup, who didn’t want me,
Who broke me, and I tried to move on, I did,
I just couldn’t.
She’s all I could think about,
And breathing without her became impossible.
I become obsessed,
My need to find her becomes everything,
I just didn’t know the heartache that awaited me when I finally set eyes on her again…

Growing up, I was held to a higher expectation than my friends,
I had to be the perfect daughter and hold a certain aura,
And I felt like I was suffocating, that I wasn’t living a life for me.
I was told what I had to wear, what I should eat, and how I should act,
I was told to look pretty and keep my mouth shut.
My family held me up on a pedestal that I wanted to get off,
To live and enjoy my life, to find out who I am,
But that was impossible.
Trying to study a field that I fell in love with, the only thing I was granted,
I was told I was to marry and become the dutiful wife,
That I had to give up my dreams that I dared to dream,
And I didn’t see a future for myself, I didn’t see a way out,
Until him.
He made my heart race and my palms sweat,
He made me want to be someone my family disapproved of.
He made me fall in love with him,
Made me want to begin my life with him, but then something happened,
And I ran away, not just breaking his heart but mine as well.
It’s been years since I’d been home, years since I saw him,
But I have to return, I have to say goodbye to someone I held dear in my heart,
I have to face the repercussions of leaving the way I did,
I have to face the man I fell madly in love with but left without a word,
And explain why we can’t be together.
It’s just a shame that I forgot who he was and that he will never let me go again….
