She let go

Adam L.

Subliminal message, Lis. Something we all need to hear. Nicely penned, a poem about freedom!

I don't know really what to say but you have real talent when you write poetry. There's something special about the way you use your words.I like the part, ''I'll fake it until I make it.'' But be careful of not fooling yourself.

Sadly excellent, J. B!

A great poem, Lisbeth! Sometimes, it's how to do things. It takes time to find the strength and confidence to break away and live free, and until that day the best thing to do is put on a false smile until you can put on a real smile. Once you stand up and say 'no more' that false smile becomes increasingly real. A well written piece!

Ah... a change in POV!
This is an amazing poem, JB, empowering and liberating. Its good to see you experiment with the third person, and it worked extremely well. I loved it, bravo!

Stay alive, its very much worth it !
I liked the "she" way of talk, and the " I will " in the middle; its like telling a true story from different perspectives, I mean after all , how can others connect with us, if we can't connect with ourselves :D
Muy bueno señorita Lisbeth !

Like a bird letting go of being caged, then spreading her wings to go with the flow of the wind, flying, away in time. Most of the time life is about wearing a fake smile, because personally I hate being around people, and it's about putting on a fake smile so that they will leave me alone. The real smile only comes in the true form of happiness, but I don't know if my smile will ever be real. I love that you are finding freedom within yourself, and that your smile will eventually become real, because I just want you to smile, and for it to be genuine, and not fake anymore. You are so strong Lisbeth, and your smile will eventually show that forever. I love that this poem is personal to you, like the beginning of your own unity. You paint a grandiose world with your imagery, and you are one of the best poets I have ever seen. I love your passion, and this is brilliant. Anyone breaks your real smile and I will break them :)

Such a beautiful and strong poem. At last, all that's left was to let go! Nice piece :)
