POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

“You’ve come back, but I no longer need you.”

Write a poem or short story including this line.

Anymore

I needed someone strong to rely on years ago,

but now I’ve grown and won’t cling to everyone I know.

I still remember how I needed someone and then met you.

You, the guy who made the colors of the sky more than blue.


You were my clutch, when I wobbled on weak legs.

You were the only reason I didn’t bolt and jump off the edge.

But people grow up and people walk away,

we were different like that, you ran astray.

But I stayed in the game and played.


And one day you’ll come back,

no longer willing to help keep me from attacks,

no longer willing to be gentlemanly and open my door.

One day you’ll come back and realize,

I don’t need you anymore.
