Poetry: My life

by Nadia Shirley

Despair

Hugging me tight


Loneliness

Embracing me right


Let me go

I am tired to fight

I'm lost in the whirlpool of life

Trying to please everybody on sight


Take me away from this path

Leave me at the edge


Let me walk and find my own trail

Give me space to breathe and seek myself

I am afraid I will wither and die

If you keep holding me close and by


Let me go and fly up in the sky

Try to find the vortex of existence

To begin a new path of life

Where everything has its rights

Shining and bright
