Writing Prompt

I bought a one-way ticket to rock bottom again

Because I was feeling homesick

And the only cure to the virus was to lie, curled up in the fetal position, missing the warmth of my mother’s womb.

Before sentience—

Before awareness—

I was at peace.

And I didn’t know what love was.

The stinking, rotting love

That oozed from a festered wound,

The imprint of the brute’s teeth

Left to beat black and blue...

The metal blade

Sharp on my skin

The pain

So exhilarating

I’ve always been afraid to do this

But now…

I don’t care

The heat is satisfying all my deeper pains

By bringing them to the surface

The agony of the cuts

Encompasses the pains from below

I love the look of the blood

The “battle scars”

That nobody is allowed to see

Except me

Like

I know this is wrong

But the feeling and the urge

When autumn arrives,

The birds start to soar,

None as high or far,

As the geese migrating.

Miles and miles,

Their shadows stroking the ground,

The birds leaping through clouds,

Reaching for stars and touching the sun.

Yet how far can a bird fly,

Before they start to falter,

To wane and whine and wail,

As the destination never nears?

Because of this,

Geese never migrate alone,

They fly in a V,

Ağaç dala dal yaprağa muhtaçken, dal onu hiç bırakmayacakmış gibi yazın canlılığıyla sereserpe billur güzelliğiyle rüzgârla bir oraya bir buraya ahenkle dans eden yemyeşil canlı taze yapraklar misali, içimde yeşeren umutlarımla, zamansız dalın yaprağı bıraktığı gibi rüzgârlarda nereye sarrulacağını bilmeyen

Hope never truly leaves us

It is always by our side

Hope is a must

If we are to survive

We have to believe

Until our final breath

That hope will prevail

And give us success

Even when all seems loss

Hope in our chest will twist and toss

Figure out new ways

To escape our worst days

The future is one of hopes mighty tools

We use them to get us out of deadly whirl-pools

The future is a form of hop...

When the ones who gave you life are so over your existence,

Who is next?

The schools,

Full of fools.

They just make it worse,

If I don’t let the tears spew then the words will burst.

My palms sweat when I think whose really there,

If I end it all now, who would care?

One girl whose just there for a good joke,

Would she think it’s a giggle for the woke.

When they finally see a lifeless body,

Fledge peered over what felt like a limitless expanse. Even with how tiny Buzzy appeared, Fledge could tell what she was doing. Any time Buzzy noticed a bit of water on the ground, she would stare at it for… well… too long. Buzzy wanted to make sure that each feather was in its place. So instead of trying to find a way back to Fledge, Buzzy was obsessing over her image.

Fledge squawked loudly at ...

I **try**

The late **nights**

Hope fades

So does the light

The waters of the sea of grief

Close in around me

Tight

I try to swim for where it was

I try to scream for there it was

And now it’s gone.

I claw desperately at salted air

Green blue and dark

And I am there

Drowning there

For there it was

And now it’s gone

When all hope fails, what do we rely on?...
