Just Let Me Be Poem by ellery lim

Come on be realistic
Life is so horrific

You’ve never seen
You’ve never heard
You’ve never been
To the place I was hurt

How can you say?
You’re in dismay
When you’ve always been
In the brightest of day

I on the other hand
Never once had a friend
Not one women or man
Stayed true to the end

Sometimes the rain
Depicts my pain
And my tears flowed like
I was insane

I want to leave
Never to breathe
Please set me free
Let me be me.
