Release Me

A short poem that speaks volumes!! I definitely enjoyed reading this, and I read it over and over again that I lost count haha.
The first part/sentence painted a picture in my mind: a young girl walking home from school or work perhaps?---In the literal sense, but metaphorically speaking, it can be about a girl who has lost faith in God, perhaps. And she is lost, trying to find a "way back home". Really nice.
"Release me from this ebony thought,"
---"these ebony thoughts" kind of sound better, I think.. This part made me think that this girl is somewhat paranoid while walking the streets (literally) or unwanted thoughts about the demons are haunting her because she's lost her faith in God.
"for demons scatter to taste tear drops"
---This is my favorite part. Demons would do anything and everything to lead you away from God and watch you suffer. I like how you penned that here.
The ending was powerful, but I was confused about the 'trees' part.. Hmm.. Perhaps it's a metaphor for nature or good people? But since I'm not so sure about my interpretation, I dunno.. lol.. My comment seems to be longer than the poem itself, but that goes to show this is a thought-provoking piece. For me it had double meanings and I like that. Really enjoyed reading this. Keep writing!

Wow!

Such a powerful write for a short poem. I've been seeing that a lot lately and it is very inspiring. I love the simplicity in the words but come together they make an amazing write! A very sad piece indeed.
