POEM STARTER
Submitted by Oddity
Write a poem or short story about someone who lives alone in a bubble.
This could be real or metaphorical.
Bubble
Here I am yet again,
Trapped in this bubble of negativity.
The thoughts inside this bubble
Are enough to drive one insane,
Yet still I resist
The urge
To pop it
And fall to the ground
And die.
Until one comment says
Just do it, nobody cares about you,
There can be no one else in this bubble
It’s just you and you alone
You will never find someone for you
So now these thoughts
Pop the bubble by itself
And down I go
Falling down to the world below
And yet I will have very little time to marvel at it
While my head is bleeding.
My last words…
“Bury me along the… ri… vr…”
My eyes close by themselves,
And I see a child blowing a bubble.
What irony.
