POEM STARTER
Write a blank verse poem on a topic that's important to you.
Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but has a very strict structure which builds a melody through rhythm. (One way to create this is to structure each line with the same amount of syllables, and the same syllabic stresses, like you might if you were writing the verses of a song.)

I know what depression is,
A mind-addled sickness brought
On by broken wings, hobbled.
The same way love turns the
Eyes to rose, it turns the
Eyes bloodshot yellow.
My heart ached so much
Those days, pounded so loudly,
Striking hand held to breast.
Turgid pulse brought with it pain,
Twisted the world,
Inched me closer towards bitter shadows.
Years later, I sit with those memories
And remember ...
I’m searching for more joy in my life
Trying to learn something new every day
I think the key is to start on the inside
To change the way you think
About life, but more importantly about yourself
It’s hard not to judge your every move
To question the decisions you make
To actually applaud yourself for who you are
And for trying your best
I think there is more joy to be found
By accepting that y...
I know what it feels like.
That deep dark feeling we all feel,
I know that pain all too well
I’ve mastered it,
In a way.
It’s okay to feel like that
It means your human
That you aren’t numb
That you are being true to yourself,
The trick is to be comfortable in it.
Be okay with that darkness in yourself,
Befriend that darkness
When it screams at you
Listen to it,
Because no one will ever hav...
why do i always have to be
the one at the side?
i sit here on the bench,
simply watching them shine;
basking in their glory,
but never having mine.
they’re the stars, and i’m their shadow,
trailing just a step behind.
and the worse part is
i can’t even cry,
because each one of the stars deserves to shine.
so i’ll just sit here,
waiting patiently for the time,
where i won’t envy the stars,
becaus...
I’m not sexualizing you
I’m longing for you
The nights when I don’t see you
I think about you until I drift off
So when you’re finally in arms reach
It is time for me to devour
You are a piece of meat
But you are also many other things
Loving on your body is one of the many ways I can love all of you
As I do with all of my senses
A whiff of your expensive cologne
The sound of your baritone v...
I need help
so I yell and I scream at them
until my lungs give up
and my heart gives out.
silently wishing, hoping
they’ll understand that
I’m not a terrible person.
I’m just hurting
I need help
so I carve the pain into my skin
pleading, begging, praying
for someone to notice the glaring welts
I need help
so I skip one meal
then three
make a chart for the weights
and the calories
waiting to...
I long to be near you
Inside your embrace
Where your heart beats a song
Just for me and you
You gripped me too tightly
Crushing my insides
I whispered “stop it please”
You just smiled wider
My heartbeat roaring,
Consuming my ears..
Someone in the window-
You hate being seen
You loosened your grip,
I fell to the floor.
Now they will believe me..
As more eyes appeared
I’m now less afraid
To gras...
LET GO
I LET GO OF ALL MY FEARS
I WELCOME THE UNKNOWN
I LET GO OF BEING A PERFECTIONIST
I’M PERFECT JUST THE WAY I AM
I LET GO OF NOT TRUSTING MYSELF
I BELIEVE IN MYSELF
I LET GO OF NOT KEEPING PROMISES TO MYSELF
I SHOW UP FOR MYSELF
I LET GO OF MY LIMITATIONS
I HAVE NO LIMITS
I LET GO OF JUDGING MYSELF
I ACCEPT MYSELF
I LET GO OF BEING A VICTIM
I AM VICTORIOUS
I LET GO OF NOT BEING CONFIDENT

You gave me hobbies
That made me passionate
And then I hated it
Because I hated you
You gave me sunshine
That I would look out
And then it was night
And then I hated you
I gave you my life
Just for you to
Throw off a cliff
Because you hated me
We were afraid to leave
So I stayed forever
And I hated you
And I hated everything...
