Rob Levasseur Poet Free verse

Defeat Our Fears

I want you
in the sunshine
and the rain
on every day
to defeat
the pain.

I need you
around me
surround me
beneath me
above me.

I want you
in the winter
during the fall
through the spring
and hot summer
through the
seasons all.

I need you
to hold my hand
let’s make
a stand
let us fight
the tears
let us defeat
our fears.

Evelyn Swartz January 8, 2021 at 5:20 PM I love this poem. You could take it any way you want does the person need another person, does the person need God, does the person need something else?The last verse is the best for me because I had so many fears to conquer and had to stand on my own two feet to do so. I think the way you wrote it leaves the reader to interpret it for their own needs ..great work. Rob Levasseur January 9, 2021 at 8:17 AM Thanks very much Evelyn. You actually helped me see another way to interpret my own poem. Now that's something!

Lady Labyrinth January 8, 2021 at 11:38 AM united we stand, divided we fall...good concept to have, to stand with others as support - but never let them drag you under, a person needs to know when to let go to save themselves. Rob Levasseur January 8, 2021 at 12:07 PM Spot on analysis.
