A Poem- Tell Me This Is A Poem Poem by Shalom Freedman

A POEM/ TELL ME THIS IS A POEM

A Poem-
Tell me this is a poem-
Tell me I have written a poem
Tell me my life has meaning-
Tell me I am alright-
Tell me a life has meaning
Because a poem has been written in it.

Tell me it’s alright
Tell me this is a poem
Let me be -
Please let me be free
Free of all this anxiety and pain and doubt and fear.

Poem or no poem
Leave me alone
I just want be free
Free of all this anxiety.

Is this a poem or not?
