Make
all my rights
wrong.

Pull me
down
when I'm up.

Make me
cry
when I need to laugh.

Silence me
when I need to talk.

Cover me
when I need to be seen.

Hate me
when I need to be
loved.

Then

let

me

go

Appears to be a touch of sadness in the air tonight... but, well done. Hugs, Nancy.

*sigh*. . . hold me, then let me go. . .

I've always wondered why we ask people to do this. . .I'm afraid I still don't have the answers. . .

well done. . .

Thank you for the comments. I titled it Savior because there are those that come along in your life to "save" you from everything - everything that THEY think isn't right for you - sometimes to save you from yourself, smothering you from being who you want to be, need to be. They don't realize what they're doing until it's too late. By then, you're not the person they once knew. It seems then, and only then, they feel they've "succeeded" in saving you from yourself, leaving you searching for yourself all over again.

we can only be saved by ourselves and our own efforts in these kinds of situations... nicely presented and thoughtfully sad...
