Let Go

Just a poem

How do I hold onto this
Ten minutes of reverie
That which runs through me
Brings me close to the edge
This can only happen
When I hide away alone
And yet
This life is so crowded
Plastic enamel faces
Smiles painted to fit
Lives prepackaged and formed
Surround this stretched skin
When can I
Just let me go

I want to know the reason behind this piece. What were your thoughts when you wrote it? I really like your writing specifically because I feel like it can connect to your readers and they can relate to it. And that is what people look for in writing. "will this piece speak to me and tell my inner most thoughts without me even having said a word?" Thank you, again for sharing. I really enjoy your work and I would love to continue reading what you have to share.

When I wrote it I had just woke from a moment of deep thought, where many memories I hadn't thought of in a long while had come to me. I realized that I missed those memories and that I often didn't think of them. I found myself more distracted by the chaos of people that's all around me, how take most people are. A poem of lament and frustration.

"Lives prepackaged and formed" Tells me that life is a predestined journey. Longing to hold on to daydreams, even if it's just for a few minutes, a means of escape. Emotional write. Well written
