Never was meant to be an angel. . . 'I've been called cold and heartless. But that's only because somebody took my heart and broke it.' - Nikky-:

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 ... 13.03.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) (unrhymed couplets) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

This poem sounds like one written by someone imprisoned...perhaps imprisoned by despair. So sad. Hope comes with the dawn though as each day is a new chance to live. Great poem Sunny. And, congrats on making the "Best New Poems" list.

Exceptional write Anne-Lise, perhaps my favorite of yours. An extremely personal write. I feel as if I am in your mind with you, feeling your emotions. I see another side of you here.

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. Many hugs:-)

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.
