Will you let me leave
Can I be free
Will you let me breathe
Can I be less then thee

I’m confined within this place
You’re always telling me what to do
I’m never allowed to say
You’re always looking down on me

I have to leave
You’ll never let me be free
I have to breathe
You’ll never be less then me

We're the same you and me
Don’t bottled me up I just want to be free
We're the same two half of a hole
Don’t bottled me up let your inner self be seen  

We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.

its good. in your second stanza the words dont rhyme. i dont know if thats what you were trying to do but they dont rhyme and all you other stanzas do. it would make it flow better if it rhymed i'm pretty sure.

Thank you for replying, to all of you

Jessica I agree it would sound better if it flow better.

I don’t know I had so much trouble on that stanza. I’ve haven been able to come up with anything that would flow better and say what I’m trying to say.

Okay, Jessica, aliway, I have to disagree with both of you! It wasn’t the second stanza that I felt flowed kind of blah, but the last one amazingly enough.
Also I was wondering on this part “we’re the same two half of a hole” is it supposed to read in one sentence, or is there supposed to be a break? Just wondering.

You have a couple words that I would question your choice of spelling, they are words that have more than one spelling more than one meaning, but I feel like they should be the other way around than what they are, does that make sense?

On this line “don’t bottled me up I just want to be free” is it supposed to be,
“don’t bottle me up I just want to be free”, just wondering there again?

Good job though, I can relate to this poem in many ways! I enjoy my freedom a lot…

Hi stargal
Yes it is supposed to read in one sentence.

The poem is about how I show the world one side of me and keep the other side in side of me because I think they will see me differently.

People have two sides to them a good and a bad (wild).  I show my good side to every one and keep my bad side in and it’s sometimes its hard to.
