The chains that suffocate

[magicschoolbusdropout]

I never complain.  Never once have I.
I aways accepted the fact that I was the black sheep of my family.
I always accepted its them over me.

I followed my heart he got killed. 
No one made sure I was okay but one person.
I cried myself to sleep more nights than I could count.

I found love again and all I do is worry.
No one still checks in on me.
No one even knows my little secret.

I followed my heart again and I am happy.
I've started my own little family.
Are you proud?

Why do these chains still feel like I am suffocating?
Do I have to follow underneath everyone still?
I am my own person arent I?
Did you know I craft or that I paint?

Am I worth  paying attention to? 
From where I stand.. the answer  is clear.
I am not.
