Your hands gripped onto the metal bar so tight <br />Squeezing hard with all of your might <br />Clutching desperately this heavy bar of lead <br />While trying to keep above water your sinking head <br /> <br />I try to prise free your frantic grasp <br />But this piece of steel you will not unclasp <br />Your fingers stubbornly refuse to yield <br />No matter how much power I try to wield <br /> <br />Please let go of this bar that is dragging you down <br />Please let go, it is making you splutter and drown <br />Please let go, then you will swim so freely <br />Please let go, you will glide through the water so easily <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-go-humour-inspiration/
