**[HEAVY TOPICS! **⚠️** TW - reflection on verbal abuse, READ WITH CAUTION. The whole story is fictitious but there because I feel people need to be aware of this. Also, the italicized represents texts that the voice of this poem is obsessed with reading, therefore making this on-prompt.]**__

I have to be honest: I’m afraid not to...

Not Gold

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

‘All that glitters is not gold.’

I never really understood it,

and if I were to be so bold,

I don’t think I ever will.

I’ve seen the stars glitter,

just the same as cartoon gold.

The sun and moon were kidders,

‘jokes on you, we’re not the prettiest.’

I’ve seen more glitter than just gold.

Just like the stars, other things do too.

But maybe I’ll sit here in the cold,

and tell you that maybe tears...

I needed someone strong to rely on years ago,

but now I’ve grown and won’t cling to everyone I know.

I still remember how I needed someone and then met you.

You, the guy who made the colors of the sky more than blue.

You were my clutch, when I wobbled on weak legs.

You were the only reason I didn’t bolt and jump off the edge.

But people grow up and people walk away,

we were different like that, y...

**[this is super info-dumped]**

Mark Cincederr used to be the love of my life, perfectly in tune with the melody of my heart.

He was Mr. Popular, I, Miss Bookworm.

I still am, and he still is.

Yet, something shifted.

They say opposites attract.

They used to.

But, as I kiss him, I’m feeling no sparks. No attraction. Nothing.

He adjusts a second, as if just now realizing I was attempting to ...

Okay guys- I’m rewriting Caught Between Hearts. I’m thinking it’ll just be a really long short story, as it has potential for a story just not for a book.

Should I completely rewrite the first three chapters, or should I continue on from there?

Please don’t report this for being off-prompt. It has potential to be on-prompt? 😂...

I love it when I get hugged,

although genuinely afraid to get mugged.

Presents are pretty, I like bling,

but touch and time are my things.

When you have a birthday such as mine,

it’s really not that hard to find

that they either love or hate the romance,

but love the chocolate,

although you gain a size in pants.

Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day,

I hope for your opinion to sway,

that my birthday i...

That Moment

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

His eyes were locked on hers,

and hers were locked on his.

She looked away before he did;

his gaze settled on her lips.

Once she noticed, she blushed,

it was ever so slight, he didn’t see,

but they were mutually in like,

even when neither would believe.

He stared at his ceiling every day,

rethinking about how pretty she looked,

how nice she was; how he admired her.

Once he met her, he was _hook...

Makeup

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

This take on the prompt is actually just an edited version of my previous attempt. “Makeup” is about being told you’re pretty, but only believing it’s because of the, well, _makeup_. The ending is altered, to share that you don’t need your makeup for others to find you pretty. Also, new title, maybe? Which is a better fit, “Makeup” , “Gorgeous” , or [other]?

Anyways…
