my life pt. 1
"I want to break free!"
The queen cried.
I cried.
I look to Jesus,
"I'm alone again" as the devil
And God rage inside me.
I released one puff of smoke and
The world waits for an explosion.
I know who I am.
But more importantly who I want
To become.
Music is driving me.
I sing with the birds
but they ignore me.
The leaves now are everywhere
And half of life is bare
As well as mine.
If I'm just matter and chemicals like
These dying trees
Then why do I feel, why do I want
Purpose?
In a crowded room am I really this
Alone.
What hope is there but that
Which is unseen?
Go ahead. Look behind my curtain.
Rage lies underneath.
But divine melody awakens my
Purpose.

I really enjoy the sentamnet of this poem, it`s very well grounded in an emotional moment, and explores that existance really well. The imagry is also pretty great. I wasn`t really able to follow where you were going with the biblical allegory, it does make the poem seem more momentous, and establishes a conflict, but I think maybe you could do a little more with it. In any case great work, have an awesome night.
