Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

- Born With a Free Spirit -

Don't complain about the lack of light under the stars
To write my memoirs, from a long time ago
The paradox here is that ten lines is not much

Like the sun one beautiful summer day I was born
The best foundation was a good childhood

The day I walked out the door, only seventeen
I realized that a chapter in life was over
I became "a boss" in my own new existence
and learned a lot from the phrase: "the hard school of life"

Did I mention there aren't enough lines?
