"Who is Jamie" Poem

All my life,
I've sat on sidelines,
sitting and watching,
letting life pass by.
"you can't do this,"
"oh, be careful!"
"don't hurt yourself!"
I always let people,
who I thought,
were only protecting me,
and knew better than I,
decide what was right,
and what was wrong.
So now,
as an adult,
I have no true standing,
not sure if things are,
good, safe, or Okay,
scared of messing up,
and looking like a fool.
Once again,
still on the sidelines,
letting everyone else, including my fears,
live and control my life.
How can it be?
Me, an adult? when so many didn't let me,
didn't give me space,
to learn and breathe,
make mistakes,
to figure out
Who is Jamie?
