Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

- 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 ...

Carole Duet April 6, 2017 at 11:34 PM This poem sounds like one written by someone imprisoned...perhaps imprisoned by despair. So sad.

Keith O.J. Hunt March 21, 2017 at 10:21 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. Many hugs:-) Anne-Lise Andresen March 21, 2017 at 3:15 PM - Thank you for your meaningful and great comments, Keith - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Lisa Ricci March 15, 2017 at 7:22 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. Anne-Lise Andresen March 15, 2017 at 2:25 PM - Thanks for friendly visits and lovely comments, Lisa :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
