Need to be strong

Need to be strong.
Need to forgive.
Need to forget.
Need to go on.

Need to be loved.
Need to be saved.
Need to be free.
Need to move on.

Need to calm down.
Need to raise up.
Need to shout out.
Need to run run run.

Please tell me what you think

    nice

    Identified with first 4 lines, found the next three powerful but empathised rather than identified. Don't like the eighth line much. or "raise" in the tenth. Raise speaks of raising someone or something else. Maybe rise or stand? Great ending, good poem

      To jewel.

      it feels so good that you liked the poem here.its just great to know that somebody else can react to it.
      I must tell there is a hard story behind this words and and almost any poem I write.I do not write to show myself I do it as a emotional rescue...I am quite impressed to get this comment.

    Such concentrated power here.

    It's plain and up-front. It breathes like a runner's breath: short and pointed. Terrific form, excellent choice of simple words - all leading to self-affirmation. Those last repeated "run"s are perfect. For me, Ludmila, this is a delightful read. One of your best!
