Writing Prompt

Writhe in the sadness, Sadness leaving your body. Body of work accepted, Accepted by your love. Love the air in your lungs, Lungs are full or your love. Love makes you full again, Again you are like oxygen. Oxygen in your touch, Touch my skin, Skin on skin. Skin on you, You and me. Me and you, You taste of fate, Fate told me of you. You fill my heart, Heart with love. Love the air in your lungs, Lungs full of your love. Love makes you full again.

…

Love you baby 🖤

Everything hurts hurts like a punch to the gut. Gut- wrenching agony agony as I watch the world burn Burn down by the people is bruised Bruised and broken are we We are the people the world destroyed Destroy the earth shall we We are the boys and girls The girls who ache and cry Cry out to the people People who ignore us Us and the others Others who work to hard Harder than they should Should have to ever do Do they get a break Break from everything Everything hurts I’ll say it again Again I cry and yell Yell to the kids Kids who dont know the pain yet Yet its all around them looming near near their face but can not yet see see the danger danger approaching Approaching faster and faster Faster till it all goes black Black and dark Darkness envelops the children Children scream because all they know is pain Paina nd suffering Suffering and feeling small Smaller than it all All alone in your own world World where no one loves you You are the voice vouce that can change everything Everything will get better Better will come soon Soon I will give you the voice Voice your concerns and your opinion Opinions on war war and crime crime and hate Hate is a strong word Words you need to use Use your words and stand up Up to the power Power the people People need you You can save the world

People tell me that I’m wrong Wrong is sometimes right Right is true, without fault Fault that scars our night

Night blooms high High beyond our reach Reach, we try, and reach we do Do we ever feel complete?

Welcome, welcome one and all All your dreams will start to fall fall through the floor floor the judges and walk out the door door to the unknown unknown to everything but soul and bone bone of man and bone of beast beast with fangs and teeth teeth with ridged edges edges of wreathed sharp ledges ledges where only a gooodbye meets a hello hello and welcome home

I feel so alone Alone like no other Other people don’t understand Understand what I am doing Doing what I do Do what I feel Feel what I am Am what I think Think about what I have been Been in places I have Have heard the sound of silence Silenced are we We are silenced Silenced but screaming Screaming but alone Alone like no other Others are strong Strong are we We need to band together Together we can rise Rise with hope Hope with joy Joy with laughter and crying and peace Peace is what we are needing Needing and getting Getting when we join together

Together we are not alone.

My comfort is loneliness, loneliness is you, you have those eyes, eyes that talk through your soul, soul is a word that means posibilities, posibilities only me and you know, know? so talk without words, words are just there to make us fail, fail with me if you must though, though all we hear in between is our soft breath, breath maintains us alive, alive makes a conection with life, life take us to mistakes, mistakes we make makes me say please, please be my time alone, alone makes me feel peace, peace is your love, love that we can’t defeat, defeat will make one of us leave, leave my side? we might say “what then?” then the dark cave would be my new alone, alone which normally means broken.

The waves, which would channel sunlight into each splash Splash, a word bringing many smiles to children Children, who continued to jump as the waves began to rise Rise, in a way that swept all the sand away

Away, all the children went Went to their cozy homes with fireplaces Fireplaces that warmed when the sand began to burn Burn, leaving behind more deep red damage

Damage, that caused mothers to gather their children Children, that left behind trickles of glitter Glitter, that was once used to make unicorns Unicorns, that have flown away from our hearts

Hearts, the broken pieces buried deep Deep in the wet sand under the aqua blue sea Sea, a place where littles used to paddle Paddle and squeal, but now a place where

Where the tears shed by the lost are hidden Hidden in the deep, where the ocean must hold Hold on to every drop of saltiness for those who cry Cry tears only the ocean can withstand

Withstand, and adapt to the trail of darkness Darkness that envelops the now roaring waves Waves, that now come charging towards shore Shore, that was a place where sandcastles stood tall

Tall, and triumphed the spiraling wind Wind, that used to be a breeze Breeze, that now has become a chill Chill, that brings clouds to a perfect moment

Moment by moment, the days get longer Longer we must wait for the next sunrise Sunrise, which awakens us with a new start Start, the waves go at it again

Again, the pain cracks and burns Burns with such a pride and strength Strength, we all have and can use it to ride Ride those hurdling waves full of hurt

Hurt, that can be ghastly Ghastly in a way that no one can see See, if we can’t see then we must try to listen Listen, and then gently take one another’s hand

Hand in hand, we must jump together💙🤍

This poem is long, and I don’t know if it’s my best work, but it represents a lot of things to me. One thing, it represents this community because here, we build each other up. Like a good family always does. Like my family always does. Here in this community, while the rest of the world might not be fighting these battles with us, we are together. Together, we are a forever. I can read the saddest poems on this app but instead of feeling down, I feel the desire to give you guys the hope, the love, and the warmth you guys deserve because you guys have all done that for me. So has my family. I care for all of you deeply and thank you, for all of your words. Every single word you write down has a meaning and deserves an applause 💙💙 I think I might write a story next time :) or maybe a less long poem lol. Hope you guys enjoy :) 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Whispers in the night, Night's cold embrace tightens, Tightens around my heart, Heart aches with your absence, Absence like a void, Void of all but pain, Pain that echoes deep, Deep within my soul,

Soul yearning for a touch, Touch now lost to time, Time marches on, On without you here, Here in the silence, Silence filled with tears, Tears that fall like rain, Rain that never ends.

Ends our beginnings too, Too hard to face alone, Alone in the dark, Dark as my thoughts, Thoughts of you still linger, Linger like a ghost, Ghost of what we could have had, Had I not let you slip away.

Away into the shadows, Shadows of the past. Past love lives on forever, Forever in my heart. Heart holds onto hope, Hope for one last dream, Dream of you returning, Returning to my arms.

Arms that hold the emptiness, Emptiness so vast, Vast as the ocean, Ocean of my grief, Grief that never ends, Ends the beauty in all my days. Days that once were bright, Bright as the sound of your laughter.

Laughter that's now just memory, Memory fades to night, Night returns to whispers, Whispers turned to echoes, Echoes turn to ashes. Ashes turn to dust, Dust that suffocates me slowly, Slowly draining all my light.

Mourn in silence, silence, unheard cries, Cries of a love, love that never flies.

Flies the passage, passage of time, Time's cruel jest, jest in its prime.

Prime moments faded, faded away, Away from him, him in the fray.

Fray of memories, memories denied, Denied connection, connection set aside.

Aside in solitude, solitude she weaves, Weaves a love, love that never leaves.

(Tw: suicidal thoughts)

My hands are contorting

Contorting like I’m possessed

Possessed by my demons

Demons who wish me dead

Dead on the inside, smiling on the outside

Outside these walls I built

Built for someone brave enough to climb

Climb over the jagged edges and the needles that so round my heart so bloody and bruised

Bruised from war, fighting for a reason

Reason not to let the demons choke me with my own blood and tears

A/N: something I had in my notes, just trying to get my streak back
