Let Me

By: Hunter J. Bozelle

 

Let me be free

To write the way I say should be

 

If you are to expect my best

Then you need to put these rules to rest

 

If you want me to write without a doubt

Then let me take my own route

 

Let me be boundless

To write that which makes you breathless

 

The reason I can’t write

Is because it doesn’t feel right

 

Let me write without requirements

So I can show you what the choir meant

 

To show the colors of autumn

Without fret of reaching the bottom

 

I need my pen boundless and free

For me to show you what you want to see

 

Let me write how I believe it should be

To show my depiction what I see

 

There is a lot that I can do

And I know you know too

 

To truly write a poem worth the ink

One must feel like they might actually sink

 

Within the waters the titanic lay

To feel the cold and fear of not seeing the day

 

Let me write to the height of my potential

That which I see as essential

 

 

What Poetry is to me?

It is freedom to show people the way you want them to see

 

Let me be free

Let my pen be able to flow aimlessly

 

Just let me

Paint exactly what I see

 

With very detailed descriptions

And certain shadow positions

 

Just let me write

What I think is right
