Let Me Cry

Reality erases expectations


leaving a trail of broken truths


tears threaten internal drowning


if I don’t release them soon


 


Doubt displaces security


uprooting years of peace


fear promises suffocation


unless I start to breathe


 


Frustration ousts comfort


tramples core beliefs


exhaustion finds my heart


bruises it with a squeeze


 


A single realization


tears my world apart


let me scream, cry, and grieve


embrace a new version of me


 


Sandy Knauer, 2005

True emotions poetized in "Let Me Cry" flow throughout its lines

Sandy, your alliteration is not only creatively placed, it's poetically perfect! For me, it makes this reading even more meaningful.

It is always a treat for the mind to read thoughts I can grab, mull over, understand... and this is expressed as I've not read before. One line after another... this is marvelous writing. katy xox

I think that is one of the priveledges of being a woman in that we can cry.

This pain that you have woven into you verses is universal but each one of us reacts differently I suppose. I feel a sense of renewal in your last verse which is uplifting and hopeful. Thank you, Sandy. Love and peace. Regis

You used all of the negative things that haunt us. These negative traits and situations bore into and up the writer of the poem, but in the end you looked for redemption because you felt it was there for the taking. Good.
