Let Me

Let Me

A Poem by Not here
"

Maybe you need this.

"
Could you let me be, for once?
Let me do what I see, for once?
I just want a chance, just once.
Let me go and dance, just once.

When your school is like a jail,
when your alarm clock is a wail,
when you walk behind a veil,
when your life is up for sale...

Let me walk alone, please.
I am nothing but sleaze.
"How can I help?" Just squeeze.
Bury me among trees.


My chest's starting to seize.
I am in a deep freeze.
Nothing in me's at ease.
And still I feel the breeze. 


These
bodies on my windowsill,
letting in the cold chill,
making me stand so still,
losing their bloody spill,
popping yet another pill,
staring at my credit bill,
hoping in some good will,
reaching for my hand drill,
everything is downhill,
hoping for a refill,
climbing silent uphill.


Can I get a restart?

Please will you make me smart?

Seems that I don't have a brain,

so I'll take this drill and find a vein.

Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Let me stay right here forever.
Leave me alone.

Leave me alone
Leave me alone.
Let me stay here and come back never.
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Don't look back at me whenever
you leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Let me drown inside my head.
Let me sink inside my bed.
Let my pillow crush my head.
Leave me alone.
Leave 
me 
alone.

Don't leave me
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE
ALONE 
ALONE 
ALONE 
ALONE 
ALONE
ALONEeEeEeEEEeEeEeEeEEEEEeEeeEEeEeEEEeEeEeeEeEee

Come back.

Some people feel better by screaming.
Some people feel better by listening to screams.
Some people don't feel better.

You push people away because you want them to say "no." You tell them to leave so they will be forceful and stay. You argue because you want to be wrong. You want to be held.
You tell them to go away so they'll come back.
What if they don't?

thank you rudi :)
I could feel the want to be alone and the need for a return. Good flow of thoughts led to true ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Was my pleasure and you are welcome.
This is another piece that would make a great spoken word piece. You should try recording some, or sending to JTodd Underhill to record. The capitalisation end fonts allow your reader to hear the emphasis. I'm not exactly sure about the skinned at the end, though. Visually they represent walking or running away. Orally they become a mess, because it's too repetitive.
Great use of language and capturing the emotion though.
