Description If I have nothing to say,
Why do I continue speaking?
If my words are counterfeit,
Why do you confide in me?
If I am of no importance,
Why are you still holding my hand?

Let me go.

If I have nothing to say,
Why do I continue speaking?
If I have no reason to be hurt,
Why do these tears defile my face?
If I am but an apparition,
Why won’t you let me go?

Let me go …

If I have nothing to say,
Why do I continue speaking?
If I am so weak and frightened,
Why have I stopped running away?
If I continue to be nothing,
Why do you claim me as a possession?

Let me go!

If I have nothing to say,
Why do I continue speaking?
If I have nothing to learn,
Why do you continue teaching?
If I have nothing to gain,
Why is it that I’m living?

Please, let me go.

If I have nothing to say.
Why do I continue speaking?
If I am never there,
Why is it I have heard everything?
If you really don’t need me,
Why are you still holding my hand?

You don’t have to let me go.

i like how you said "let me go" in between every stanza. it was impactful, especially the changes in punctuation. i like it good job! and by the way, i'm christina (~nxoxtxhxixnxg)'s friend.. i saw your name on her main page and thought i'd check you out

and absolute SUPERB job on the writing. I really adore this line :

"If you really don’t need me,
Why are you still holding my hand?"

and the ending to the poem is perfect. ^__^

I'll do the same, I assure you. It's just that your work is so intense for a mind like mine. But as soon as I feel like I have one new brain cell, I'll get to it! Yay!
