Analysis of Saša Milivojev - LET ME GO



Let me go
My life is a poem
My word a fountain
To quench your thirst
I
A servant of God
The advice you reject
I claim that I speak unconsciously
That I do not play with that
Which entangles within me
As a tone in hair
My soul is carried
By something high
Above and away
Too far and deep
Do not reject me
Let me go
Though I’m just a poem
Which is spoken
God is in me
So much that I become unaware of letters
The tireless hunt for words within
Let me live
As long as there is something to say
Once my hand turns into stone forever
My life is a poem
God's flame
Let me resurrect
