POEM STARTER

Use the 'snowball technique' to write a poem, where the first line is one word long, the second line has two words, and so on.

Remember you do not have to 'build' on the first word - each line should use different words.

Thoughts

Messy emotions

Soft grass ground

A school basketball court

Looking up at the rooftop

Wondering what it would be like

To jump from it tonight

Not enough to die

But to try

Pain removed

Temporarily...

Breakdown

Head

Crazy mess

Mental break down

Multiple times a day

Feels world is circling around

To many people noise to count

To much work to do, need break

Just need a nap to help, me reset

To help reset my head from breakdown

To help silence the outside noise

The keep me from breaking

Down to the earth

Head is dizzying

To rest

Head...

Going Mad

Who

Is that

At the door

Knocking so loud?

Can we open it?

See who they even are?

Seriously, it’s so loud

Why act like you cannot hear them?

Are you messing with me? That’s enough.

I am going to answer the door now.

No one is there? What? I swear that I heard them....

Oh hello love

Love,

Oh hello!

How are you?

You are good huh?

Well thats great news love!

What is that you are saying?

Oh no, you must tell me now.

That is terrible! I am sorry my dear

I can’t believe they did that honey!

Is there anything i can get you?

You need me there with you?

Will do, I’ll leave now.

I’m just about there.

Honey you home?

Oh hello,

Love!...

Oh Thought.

Oh God,

OH GOD THE

THE SOUNDS YOU MAKE,


When I kiss you and

And do much more after that.


OH AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN,


KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS ME,


Your body, your lips, your skin, your smell, your-


Love me and hate me and want to hate and-


If not, if never, if not again, if forever again, if-


YOU LOVE ME, love me, kiss me, let me touch and lick-


If you hate me and wa...

Unreasonable

Unhealthy

Dark thoughts

Out of control

The mind in turmoil

Unable to reason with self

Thoughts and images taking up space

Irrational words echoing and bouncing all around

Stop this unhealthy out of control madness please....

The Golden Lining

I

Was watching

The golden sunset.

The light pressed forward,

And pressed away from me.

And that moment I was sad.

I dreaded the darkness and its embrace

I could not hold the light to me

But as I watched it slip through my fingers

I remembered a wonderful, beautiful thing that turned me brave.

As the sun abandoned me and left me in my sorrow,

It rose over the horizon, offering comfort for another...

On Marriage

Fuck

you very

much, you can

take your fake love

and shove it up your

ass. I’m not falling for your

platitudes any longer. Are you really convincing

yourself that this is all it takes to

fix our marriage, but you don’t even acknowledge what

and how it’s broken. You must realize that our union’s

longevity is tied to a contract we’re too lazy to break....

Motivation

Hope


You can


Believe in yourself


Always chase your dreams


The sky is the limit


Love yourself like you would them


Be yourself, no one else can compare


You can shake the world with your thunder


You can do anything you put your mind to



HardCoreWriter- just wanted to give y’all a little motivation, I know how hard it can be to keep going but I know y’all can do it! ♡💕💖...

Empty Accounts

Money

My husband

Watches every penny

Until I can’t breathe

Thinking about the bank statement

Every time I want to purchase

A sweater, a pair of jeans, McDonalds.

Something for myself. something for my two daughters,

To ease the sadness of the chaos of life,

To ease the deficit on the statement of our love....
