Last Words

do you understand what you do to me?
can you tell i would rather be free
how can you not see?
that your killing me
with your pretty lies
unforgiving eyes
twisted smiles
and unfair trials
why cant you let me be me?
why cant you leave me be?
ive tried so long to be me
ive tried so long to break free
please let me go
so i can die peacefully.

Allegorically right. Interesting way to put the idea down. Keep writing. Sara
