POEM STARTER
Submitted by TheQuillPen
Write a poem about giving up.
It doesn’t have to be negative, it can be about giving up something or someone that’s been holding you back.
Tsunami
Bit by bit
Drop by drop
Its to heavy to handle
And I feel it begin to cave
This dam ive built has begun to crumble.
It was strong
A fortress of solitude
I was confident and content
The barren lands of my heart were dry, voided of life with no room for dispare.
Until you
Cracks climbed the walls; scaling my mind like vines
Spouts of water would stream through
Leaking through my tears, as you continue to beat down on the doors.
Like a final storm, the dam broke.
A Tsunami hurls its way through my veins,
And I begin to drown
My mind wholly consumed by you
Every thought
Every action
Every time I look towards my screen
I turn to you like a breath of air
As im suffocating beneath the waves of my emotions.
I built that barricade to protect myself
Yet you continue to break down my walls
Persevering through my swirling pool of a mind,Flooding me with Desire and anticipation.
This foreign feeling has become addictive
I long for your conversation and endless rambles
I yearn for your attention, your awkwardness and acknowledgment,
Hoping that a ripple of my adoration someday reaches you.
