Just for one night
Be Free
Get rid of the fear
Look yourself in the eye
And say it
Just say it
Like youve wanted to
for so (oh so) long
longer than you may be
able to remember.
Ablutions to the face
Taking the place of
the tears
That have been far too prevalent
As of late.
Walk out that front door
Dont let him scare you back inside
Because you know now
That youre more (so much more)
Matter has no place
to set the peripherals
to set the standards
to set the parameters
rules and guidelines
Oks and Ill be fines
of your life
anymore.
Just walk out that front door.
Walk out that from door
And sing to the sky
In any key you like
Let the mother wrap her arms around you
and just be
Feel her pulse
beat beat
beatbeat
The art of being a better self
Is never out of reach
never out of reach
And as the soft
(kashmir) wind
Leaves goosebumps on your skin
A different pair of eyes
Starts to see.
Just for one night
Be free.
Live.
Breathe.

Like an invisible wall or a virus of heart.... Keeping one away from dreams or merely an open door.
It's compelling, the format fits and strangely intensifies its messege| meaning. It almost brings about a paining | yearning feeling that one must be free for themselves. The words may be small, but they peirce the flesh.
It's...beautiful, I suppose that's the word of choice.

What have you done? Lowest of the low, you're so beneath my contempt, you have not even a name!
You dare touch my contractor!?
You dare hurt what's mine!?
I appreciate your praise and analysis.
Thank you again, for your kind words...

I really, really like this. Youve captured so much with it and its not even so much your typically beautiful choice of words, or your lyrical sense of time and spacing. Somehow, I can tell that you were truly inspired, writing this. I can tell that it came from something /genuine/, deep within you, that couldnt be adequately expressed otherwise. It shows. Youre making a real connection with your reader.
But yeah, its all very telling of a huge relief after feeling trapped or constricted for a long time, and it works excellently. Theres only two or three lines that I would tweak a little to make them as effective as the rest, but those are afterthoughts. It's all - to wrap up - Very, very cool.
gOOD RITING OLOL j/k j/k
(sorry for the crap comment. tell Floyd I said 'what up'.)
Which lines did you have in mind, I'm curious to know...really.
Im not fearful of the edit, trust me...
And different levels of insight help the progression of human ideals and interpretation occur, you know?
Do tell, my friend, do tell.
There's just one spot, really - "the art of [...] never out of reach". It's quite awesome in itself, but it comes off to me as being in such a drastically different voice/mood from the surrounding lines that it's a bit jarring.
Beginning at "walk out that front door" until the ending, it all just /flows/, and it's got an effortless cadence and words fitting together like a weave, and it all builds up into a climax before you kind of /release/ it at the end - /phwoooah/. But it's just those aforementioned few lines - they kind of jar me away from it. It feels kind of inserted, kinda forced.
but - if I skip it and read it this way:
----------
Walk out that from door

and just be

...then I can kind of feel the flow of it better, which is nice, but without the ommitted material it feels too short. I wants more /flow/ out of it, more /buildup/, you know?
So like I said, I think if you tweaked those lines a bit (or added more, even), then you could really jack up the Phwoah factor of the whole ending sequence. Like... a running-drop-kick-to-the-jaw level Phwoah factor. I am quite certain you could really burn a few layers of skin off the reader's face, there, if you were so inclined. ...Yeah.
and that's... yeah, that's pretty much the only thing that stood out to me as being even remotely 'off'.
