Lift Me Higher

by musiqlover015   Oct 15, 2007


Can you take my hand
And lead me out of this place
This place full of suffering
And never ending grief
Can you lead me to a better land
Where love rules
Where love is not just a fairy tale
Where love can be real
Get me out of this sadness
Lead me to higher ground
Let me no longer be troubled
But instead safe and sound
I want to feel some inner peace
In the troubled atmosphere surrounding me
I want to feel inner joy
To overcome the pain and suffering eluding me
Please give me a sense of freedom
For I cannot see it around me
Give me a sense of liberty
From this life sentence set upon me
I no longer want to be held prisoner
In the trenches of the evil that bound me
For I would rather be a slave of justice
Than one of the cruelty surrounding me
Please come save me
Not only from this evil place
Save me from my hurting self
And bring me to a higher Earth

    This was a very strong poem, a lot of emotion in it. I think the only thing you can do is: rhyme. rhyming brings so much power to a poem. for an example you last line would have been amazing if it would have rhymed .. how about this: ?

    Not only from this evil place
    Save me for I own some worth
    Save me from my hurting self
    And bring me to a higher Earth
    Well hey i tried ;) Great poem other than that. I really liked this stanza:

    I no longer want to be held prisoner
    In the trenches of the evil that bound me
    For I would rather be a slave of justice
    Than one of the cruelty surrounding me

    Excellent Job

    5/5
