I think it’s time to cut the ties
Of doubt, distrust, and disbelief
Steer away from all the lies
Cut loose the strings of utter grief
No one can tell us who we are
No one can read us from our scars
In life we may tumble and fall
We’re not a puppet, after all.

I am trying out a new form of poetry called Rispetto. A Rispetto, an Italian form of poetry, is a complete poem of two rhyme quatrains with strict meter. The meter is usually iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of abab ccdd.
In response to Inspiration Call, here’s to being brave and fearless to be yourself. Have a great Sunday everyone! 🙂
