I think I can
But you obviously you dont
So I won't try
So you will keep up the gloat

I wanna see
I wanna try
But you won't let me be...
You won't let me fly

Your holding me back
Of what I can do
Your making sure I lack
everything I do

So my mouth I will shut
With my hands I won't grasp
So you can do everything alone, but
remember, that your lying when the trophy you clasp

because your not better than I
You just won't let me try

This is the first poem I had to think about. Usually the words just flow out of me.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
