- Trapped In the Past -

Escape from a world of unhappiness and sorrow
Days and weeks pass and I realize that I despise this cold hole

Let me be ...

Trapped not only within those four dark walls,
but with the elements in time and place

Let me be ...

Tears that makes you feel completely empty and useless plastic
Stop thinking, collaborating with false emotion

Let me be ...

When will you understand, you do not own my thoughts
I know I should be strong, but it is so painful

Let me be ...

Slowly draining my throat, I scream for water and air
While the morning sun lazily crawling along the purple river

Let me be here forever ...

Keith O.J. Hunt Date: 3/21/2017 10:21:00 AM Ah, truth lingers where it may.... A great voyage into the dark of human emotion, something we can all symphasize with from time to time; a little bit of love, a little bit of time, a little bit of understanding and things will work out. Deep write Anne-Lise, enjoyed your sincerity.

Lisa Ricci Date: 3/15/2017 7:22:00 AM Good Morning Anne. Hello. First the title itself is a million dollar title and expression. Those words are hauntingly true. Your words in the theme are so expressive and deliver much strength with the repetitive line of "Let me be" which in my eyes was appropriately utilized and executed. Well done throughout. Have a wonderful day. Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/15/2017 2:25:00 PM - Thanks for friendly visits and lovely comments, Lisa :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
