The Hostage Comments

Love the lines ' I can't go back to where I have been! I wouldn't recognize a thing'. Moving forward is all we can do. Lovely poem.

An expertly penned tale of one released from darkness and despair into tomorrows sunlight. A very uplifting attiude in perspective. I like your simplistic, direct way of writing

hostage to an illusion that obliterates reality! a different style Lora greatly executed.

This is a fantastic poem! Smooth, free flowing, captivating like your hostage taker. 'My decline is past all concern; I'm making the best of this errant life, Somewhere, there's a lesson to learn' These three lines touched me deepest! 'Now and then I even sing; I can't go back to where I've been, I wouldn't recognize a thing' These three lines make me feel sad.
