At least for a while

After tip toeing through life
in tune to a scratchy tape
on lines drawn by others
my arches ache

I want to start walking
for myself now
to places I want to see
in shoes that fit me

Take your sticks away
and your illusive carrots
and at least for a little while
let me be
just me
