Turn Me Loose

We're not looking up.
More like falling apart.
You treat me as an enemy
so I'll just play the part.
I had it up to here
with you treating
me this way.
So turn me loose
and then I'll
just go
away.

cool. one of the few examples of amateur poetry where the author uses the formatting of the poem effectively; the way you taper off the lines till "away" was startlingly effective.

the language is a bit trite with lines three and four being a bit of a cliche. still overall i liked it.

(sigh) My thoughts ae with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I admire the way you state efforts to feel free. Thank you.

Better to go one's way than to let someone change us for the worse.

Enjoyed!
God bless!

JamesMichael, it sounds final to me. Sometimes, that's best, especially when you've "had it up to here" with the way you're being treated. Thanks for sharing.

Love To All,
Ethel
