Hello. sorry I havn't gotten to reveiw this story yet. I havn't had internet for some time now. Thank you for your reveiw on 'just existing'. I was trying a new perspective.
Anyways I like your poem, quite a lot actually. It brings in some emotion and really dictates the feeling of wanting to make your decision but having someone you respect holding you back. I won't try to psychoanalize good writing. Very nicely done.
I am not a poet, so I can't really say anything useful about it. I can see this as a terribly depressing poem or a hopeful one, which is a good thing. It depends upon what the narrator is being held back from.
Wow, this is sort of depressing but sort of liberating, in a way. nicely written, I like the phrase 'watch myself fall faster' a lot. and the asking not to be held back. beautifully done!
