Love Poem: Persuaded

Persuaded

She was persuaded to hide 
The love so deeply she felt inside 

For those who thought they knew her, who thought they knew best
She was told he will never to be good enough for you and to put your feelings to rest 

How do others know what is good for you, is actually true
When they have hardly spent a glimpse with you, as you change over time with their every view 

To decide another’s fate, when it is not your own 
It seems that you would be throwing your own happiness out as a result and to be cursed and alone 

It’s not up to you to tell another if he or she is wrong 
So much talking and noise, it’s like the strings on a puppet for them to play along 

Let them decide on their own, if they are meant to be or to move completely on
As the universe has already decided and it is up to them to listen to their own song
