WRITING OBSTACLE

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

You do not have to reveal what the character is disappointed about, nor do you have to make them overtly upset, but you should focus on the small signs and behaviours that show their emotions.

B.S.T.L.

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 my fingers, foolishly spent;

I can’t forgive myself - no way to repent -

Time swims on and I’ll be forgotten.
