XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

She/Her… Poet. I follow back! I write mainly poetry and romance. 😊🩵 You should go follow my friend Mialoo. She’s an “incroyable” friend and writer, and part of the reason I’ve gotten decent at writing. Teenagering is hard 😭🥲😤😔

You say you apologize for the treatment I’ve been given,

but the real reason you do is the fact that you’re afraid it’s not enough

to cover up the tracks of wickedness in your heart.

Like the words “I’m sorry” are enough to keep me from getting treated rough.

I know, however, that I’m just another blade of grass in the path.

I’m just another needle in the haystack, beside the barn of commone...

I used to look forward to school,

seeing all my typical friends.

Something I just realized was

all of them brought it to ends.

I don’t have a best friend,

nor a person to talk to.

I’ve been pretending that I do,

like I can’t take a clue.

I can’t be seen as lonely,

but if I keep doing this,

I’ll be stupid and annoying,

like I can’t take the gist.

I made up my mind completely,

high schoolers don’...

***I reallllyyy like the name Maisie, and I know it’s already used by certain writers and such in settings similar to this story’s. I really like the name, however, and this is not the same character as other Maisie’s.***

I glanced at the pastures, watching the horses wander about.

It seemed as if they were at a calm, in the middle of peace.

I wished with all my heart that I could be too, but ...

I remember when they pulled out the syringe. It had an eerie green liquid residing in it.

It was easy to hear my heartbeat, pounding in my chest.

That’s when I knew… I was a lost cause....

Dear community & followers, I’ll be using this prompt to share (what I think are) my best poems. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. (If this gets banned for being off-prompt, it is likely I will be a little offended.)

To start, we have the first five edited poems!

My grandmother always told me

I’d grown up so much, yet I knew a secret.

I was never old enough to be included,

No matter what, talking was all I’d get.

I was grown and started wearing makeup.

My grandmother told me I was pretty.

I looked myself in the mirror,

and couldn’t help but cry tears of pity.

I was just the girl of SAD / ADHD,

the one everyone would hate.

There’s no point in consoling m...

Poem To The Followers

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

I’m not really good at poetry.

I use slant rhymes and not-at-all rhymes,

yet… here I am, and people like me

for the words I write so terribly.

Well, at least I hope.

Considering I have 100

followers (who help me cope)

Usually I’d feel on a tightrope,

sharing these short words

with millions of stories.

I’m not awesome at poetry,

The pacing of these lines needs work.

I have few common words; all t...

*a feminist(?) poem??*

To anyone who thinks

women belong in the kitchen,

I hope you must know,

we’re not the only ones who pitch in.

If I’m “only a woman,”

how come I can beat you up?

In games and reality,

you claim it’s just dumb luck.

I’m not saying we’re better at all;

even if it would be easy to argue.

Instead, I shall share that we

women are alongside you.

You just have to be willing

Proposal???

“So as I was sitting there, simply like just sitting there, Rhode appeared in front of me and just kind of proposed to me.”

All the girls gasp, but May nods her head at their reaction.

Continuing, May shifts her sitting position, “Exactly what the rest of the girls thought. You know, I don’t really get it. Rhode literally took like two seconds to think of that.”

“Well—”

“_Shhh_! I’m talking!”

Freezing??

The waters are cold,

but I wade in anyway.

The weather in my love life

has always been _mauvais_.

So how come I stay

submerged in the deep cold?

Anything can burn if

ice is what you hold.

Slowly I’ll wait for

the temperature to rise.

Promises sound pretty

when all you’ve heard is lies.

I’d rather relive it,

than continue on grieving.

Cold water feels warm

when you’re used to freezing....
