POEM STARTER
Write a Crybin based on something you have experienced in the last week.
A Crybin is a variation of an Italian sonnet, with the rhyme structure ABBA CDDC EFG EFG.
Grateful
(tw for thoughts of sh)
Alone once again on the filthy floor
My brain too blurry to notice the grime
As if I would have even had the time
One thing ends, and there’s always something more
I think about walking on broken glass
Or peeling my skin back til I see bone
It would be easy to do all alone
To leave this mess that I am in the past
But there’s some unseen pull that stays my hand
Like an umbrella in the pouring rain
It’s aggressive and fierce, but not hateful
Though at the time I did not understand
I see now my body kept me from pain
And for that, I will always be grateful
