WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a paragraph or short story from the perspective of someone who feels disappointed.

Is this how it feels?
I sit alone
In my thoughts
Smiling to the one I love
I’ve waited for him so
but it seems he has to go.
So I lie
Stripped down yet sweating
And pick up that five eighty page story.
Yet despite the rain
I hear the TV, noisy as can be.
I have to stay, though. There’s light.
Hands scramble to smooth out the dog ears
Of these pages, so new.
It’s time to hide.
Return to my foster ...
All planned variables worked out right -
External factors, but my mind’s set alight;
The force field is back and my breathing feels tight:
In the end, it was me who’s the problem.
Up until now, it would have been okay;
T-minus 10 and my mind’s led astray -
I guess it’s all part of this cursed Thursday:
The path of success left untrodden.
I’ve no idea where all the time went:
It slipped through m...
(idk why but my brain is just in rhyme mode
but for this one i don’t want it to be
and it’s even trying to it for this
so i guess we’ll see)
(ps i just rhymed ugh)
I look around at all these kids
Baking cookies with their moms
Playing catch with their dads
While that’s something
I never had
So yeah, I guess it isn’t fair
That you aren’t allowed
To cut your hair
Just a few inches,
It gets in th...
Standing here,
Watching you go
The reason why,
I’ll never know
You were my brother,
My other half
The only one
Who could make me laugh
But who knew
We’d crash and burn
And you won’t be there
At the next turn
So here’s to memories
Flooding in my head
But I think your words
Should’ve been left unsaid
You called me a monster,
You did before
But I can’t stand you
As you leave me on the floor
Coughin...
Chapter 4, Week 2: Tuesday
For the second time this week, I am completely fine as I walk into the room. I take a seat, expressionless, waiting for the go-ahead. I eye the imposter, who keeps looking around and accidentally making eye contact with me. This causes me to glance away. I divert my attention to the board with the instructions. They are not completely clear. Obviously, this means I am g...

“Are you ready to see what we got for science?” Emery asked scribbling down drawings in her sticker covered notebook.
“Omg yes! I had been studying all week for that test!” I exclaim not being able to sit still in my seat. The teacher comes around to pass our test scores to us, putting them ...
Chapter 4, Week 1: Monday
I sit at the desk, hair masking my face. My pen scratches away at the small paper in front of me, writing in a code that no one understands. 'Everything right is wrong again,' it reads. Of course, only I would know that. My brain broadcasts thoughts upward. 'What happened? I thought you were going to protect me.' This is just culture shock. I know it is. Give me a week, ...
Blue is the color of Valentine’s Day
The holiday didn’t even used to register for me
Because I was so sure I was going to find someone
But now
I watch the TV and movie weddings of my favorite characters
And the glow of the screen paints me the most intense shade of blue
Because the truth is starting to creep up on me with the intensity of lemon juice and the inevitability of a sunrise:

Gray sat among the ivy ferns that tickled his paws.
Would he ever see Lilac again?
Oh, how could he miss her?
She abandoned him for some loner, and left her birth tribe.
She was not to trust be missed.
So why did Gray miss her?
His mond felt like a pool of doubt,
A worm of worry crawled through his body, but what was he thinking? She was no good.
He was losing sight of his reality, even though it...
Nervous energy threatens to consume
as I desperately search for
the reassurance of your presence.
But in the back of my mind I know,
my searching eyes will stay searching
and my heart will grow heavy
with the weight of carrying this energy
without your support.
The piercing eyes of onlookers,
stab me sharper with the knowledge
that yours are not included.
I’m stuck here, baring myself to the...
