#release poems on Hello Poetry

Derrick Jones 1d

Looking down
From such great heights
My soul grows wings
Finally taking flight

I am small in the largest ways
I am the sun and all its rays
Life is a fragile, fleeting haze
Until it is seen with the sun’s clear gaze

Grief and gratitude stretch me large
Ego surrenders, no longer in charge

I wake, and I break, and in shattering, I slake
The endless thirst, the hunger that takes
I finally find peace, a break, a cease
To the fire, and find a sweet release

An Aching Plead

Tell me we're never getting back together.
Tell me you don't love me anymore.
Tell me that just the sight of me conveys your dark days , your ongoing relapse, your latest downfall, your mindless fails.
You see my face because I was there with you.
Cleaning & holding you up, filling you with hope when you had none..
you were done &  had completely given up on the world.
..I didn't have too. now I wish I didn't. If I can go back in time I would change all that.  Walk out on you & never look back. Save us both. But I stayed.
I fell & followed you into the darkness. Release me **** it .
Give me closure
As true as you can ever be towards another human being. Say it.
Whatever it is, whatever it may be,
Just please, release me.

The kite

All I want is a bridge to the clouds
so I could climb up, high and away,
to loose myself from gravity’s bounds
and float above humanity’s frays.

Let my mind be a kite to catch the wind
and pull me up to the light above,
freed from the weight that kept me pinned
instead of gliding like a carefree dove.

Dead end

Cold walls rise up and ring around
and close in to keep at bay.
Blow off the roof with a thunderclap sound,
then soar off and fly away.

~•§•~ Bleeding into the Daylight ~•§•~

How much pain in liquid form
Is acceptable to release at night?
What if it starts and then can not be stopped
From bleeding into the daylight?
Arguments are conflicting on whether I should try
It's been a bit pointless, try as I might
I've mastered keeping it silent
And my eyelids put up a good fight
But once that seals been breached
It's often an embarrassing sight
"It's okay, go ahead, let it all out"
"You have every right"
Even with hopeless hope
And diminished trust
I take the bait and bite
Then,
Same as it's always been,
It's used against me
Absent minded with plenty of foresight
"Maybe you need a good cry"
The relief from the release is slight
I know I've the inability to get it all out
Here's to hoping one day that I might
...CHEERS...

1000 0010

time is fettered
new leaf litter       feathers my doorstep

time is fettered
letters remain by the door
silence fills my chest

the wind carries feathers
flecked in blood
(violence in the food chain)
my brain releases
               and silence fills my chest

Common Scent

I understood everything that I said.
You didn’t.
I’ll take the former.

NOTE – Blah blah blah…lemme do what I want!

~•§•~ Bad Dad Fad ~•§•~

I tried to resurrect you in every thought I had
I tried to connect through words on a notepad
I have tried to let go of the sad
I tried every coping mechanism I had
...you weren't even a good dad...

Window of the Soul

It feels like Someone flung open a Window
A Window in my Mind
To Release me from the prison of Time
Now I BE.

~•§•~ Whenever Possible ~•§•~

Let me recite a line borrowed from an old poem of mine about pain and sorrow,
"Release is a crucial element for any chance to get a better future from tomorrow"
While life has taken many shots at me, I seem to be supplying the ammo
By this point it's fully equipped, got 'em armed to the teeth like Rambo
Why would I be held responsible if, let's say, one day, the relief value was a no show
Let me guess, you don't know
That's not an aura of envy, my anger feeds the green glow
And nobody likes me when I'm angry so
I must open the valve and let things go whenever possible
I apologize ahead of time if you get hit with the flow
