Let me die…
This life of mine is like a lie,
Every moment I do not try,
I feel like an empty shell.
Let me die…
If I cant make you laugh,
Is it right I gift you tears?
Make your joys disappear.
Let me die…
How is this me?
This is not who I want to be.
This is acting, reality.
Let me die…
Let me die, and be reborn,
Like a phoenix from the ashes.
A stronger, better me…
Share joys, not sorrow,
Not living on time borrowed,
A positive joy
ful me…
ful me…
Let me die…

Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.

Wonderful concept, Leo.I understand it now.And i loved d phoenix reference….. Awesome. All in all, a very good piece.:)
Nice! I like the last part the rhyming words sorrow and borrowed go so well together. The photo would make a great painting!

Hi Vina..oh, i called you Leo earlier..don’t mind that..happens with me :)and this thinking that poets write for me is a notion that started very early in life…and its then that I appreciate poetry…then it becomes like a sedative to my mind :)that’s not to reduce the compliment..the poetry, along with picture was really, really good… :))wishes, devika
