WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Bernard Wicks
Write a poem or story that reads as if it is beautiful, but is actually about something rather tragic.
For example, you might write about a beautiful sunset in an apocalyptic world, or a poem about the good things about heartbreak.
Because Of You
Because of you, I’m a person who can lend a hand.
I have a heart that can deeply understand.
Because of you, I provide a listening ear.
To those who weep and shed a great tear.
Because of you, I empathize with the broken souls.
The kind hurt so bad they may never again be whole.
Because of you, an open wound, I know how to heal.
I can help those who no longer feel real.
I can be a remedy, because you were an enemy.
People like you exist everywhere.
Forcing your way in, becoming a nightmare.
Because you forced yourself on me,
I’ve learned to live at a different degree.
Those of us who have survived people like you,
We make it through.
Try to start anew.
Over time, we learn to subdue.
We believe one another, all because… of people like you.
