Set Me Free

A dark shadow comes to attack.
I run into a wall frantically.
A dream, thats all, as a matter of fact.
Hey, fear...Set me free!

I walk down a quiet street.
A dog comes from behind a tree.
Now seeing a dog, my heart skips a beat.
Hey, fear...Set me free!

Being thrown across the room.
Covering up bruises so they don't see.
I can't tell anyone, I asume.
Hey, fear...Set me free!

My mom and I sit on a couch.
I snuggle up to her and she rejects me.
Not again, hurt feelings, ouch.
Hey, fear...Set me free!

I would appreciate your feedback, (please)

    The repitition of, "Hey, fear...Set me free!" helped the words to hit home.Your words are powerful,and filled with so much emotion and pain.Actually,your write brought tears to my eyes and it was your last stanza that did it...

    My mom and I sit on a couch.
    I snuggle up to her and she rejects me.
    Not again, hurt feelings, ouch.
    Hey, fear...Set me free!...

    I felt your pain of rejection, how could a mother be like this,how can she not comfort her child??? I just don't understand how a mother can do this,I guess I never will.I am so sorry that you have had to endure this life,it's not right, but at least you survived and it sounds like you are a strong woman.Keep penning your thoughts as writting poetry is great therapy for the soul.You have written this piece so well and have tugged at the heart strings of all the readers.A very heart felt write indeed!
    I send to you many beautiful blessings of love and happiness.
    Take care, Your Friendly AP Angel,

    This goes deep.. The repeation of the last line in each verse really sets the mood of this rather traumatizing poem.. Fear at times seems to be our ememy and it is a song that I at times to often sing..

    WOW, This is so sad, this poem touched me very much, I can sympathize with what you are going through. Sometimes we all wish that fear would set us free. Your rhythm and rhyme flowed beautifully, well done dear poet

    Wow...!

    I really dug that. My own Mum rejected me. Read my poem "Mum" to see what I mean, it's not too long and boring. That's what I liked about your poem here, it's nice and short and to the point. Bloody good stuff. From me, that's high praise, I assure you, as I don't generally like reading other people's stuff, especially if it's over nineteen lines!

    oh wow
    i was very touched by this poem
    especially the last verse

    "My mom and I sit on a couch.
    I snuggle up to her and she rejects me
    Not again, hurt feelings, ouch."

    my mum has never been a very sentimental person, dont get me wrong she's a great mum and i love her with all my heart but being a very sensitive and emotional person myself, it could be so hard when all i needed was a hug and no one would give it to me

    filled with anguish and pain yet there are flickers of hope "Set me free!"

    thank you princess dove and thankyou for your kind comments xxxx babi

    This poem is beautifully written, I love the style you choose to write in. Very simple but very strong, the words sometimes hit so hard, like a hammer to the head.
    And I relate to it, as many people would.
    Well done

    Hi!

    Princess!

    Was that kinda nightmare? Never mind!
    I like the repeating line of:
    (Hey, fear...Set me free!)
    Well rhymed with all four stanzas.
    You did a nice job!

    Lucid!

    Take care!

    ouch is right... Well, i like this, the repetition isn't necessary to me anyway..i find that hey, fear..set me free is GREAT but perhaps you could have said it only once, like at the end..i just feel it would have left a bigger impact on the reader.. however this is a great write none the less...keep up the great work!

    Very nice write!

    Wow! This is a great poem. You've expressed the pain, and emotional hurt that your mother has caused for you in this nicely. I think I, as well as many other people, can relate to this all too well. No human being deserves to live through that, and I'm sorry that you did.
    The repitition of, "Hey, fear...Set me free!" really made your piece stronger, and helped the words to hit home. Your rhyme scheme was perfect, and helped the poem flow together nicely. Great write! I hope to read more from you soon. Take care; I hope that that things get better for you.

    Yes, very good flow. Repetition works wonderfully well again. "I snuggle up to her and she rejects me" is a strong line that speaks of vulnerability and rejection in a distant, objective way and that's why I think it is a particularly effective verse.
