TO BE A MOUNTAIN

TO BE A MOUNTAIN

To be a mountain!
Is too some, a life personified
Embodying the characteristic, of a mountain
Their volume of insecurity is larger than life
They need the allusion of strength
For solitude in their pride

To be a river!
Is freedom too some
Flowing without boundaries
The truth will not confine them
To face the lies, that they have become

To be a bird!
With wings of flight
Moving through the mistakes of space and time
Some would betray their own soul
For this chance to leave their own history behind

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?

I like this clever poem, only i would soften it up a little, not the meaning just the structure. Make it less like a statement and flow easier. Regards Roscoe... And a hearty welcome to Neopoet.

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

Press I really like this free verse as it also spoke to me in thought indeed. Great job!!

Blessings
