WRITING OBSTACLE
Open the nearest book to you and look at the very first word to catch your eye. Write a 10-line story centred around this word.
Try to think outside the box and write something creative surrounding this word.
Assured
You assured me it was okay
Told me she is “just a friend”
But I came home
And saw her on our bed
You don’t have to explain
I already know the answer
I already know what you’re going to say
“This isn’t what it looks like”
But it is
I gave you all I had
But all you gave me were lies
Wrapped in a facade
So believable
That I didn’t give it a second thought
So I’m not giving you a second chance
I assure you
That we’re over
I was assured that you loved me
You don’t
You love her
So after all those restless nights
I can finally say goodbye
