What I Truly Want Poem by Justina Nicole Haner

What I truly want is to be free and be able to be myself
How many times have you layed awake at night and wished you were different?
I have done so many times and I will continue to every night

Until I'm free of this prison I won't be happy, I can't be
My mother is forcing me to be someone I'm not
I can't take it, it's making me so mad and I can't believe it

It's what I truly want and she can't stand it
I will get what I want no matter what
I'll do it just for me
