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.
Manage
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 home.
To not remember the one I love
All, who tonight, I’ve loved alone.
