POEM STARTER
'Backwards'
Use this single word to inspire a poem.
A Cry For help… (A Poem)
Forwards seems like a distant tale
Too hard to grasp
God why am I so far
Is this too much to ask
You were never the problem
Yet I beat you to the tick of my own drum
I stay far as a punishment to myself
But staying away was not what you delt
I’ve been in a wooz
Daydreamed and confused
Knowing everything yet doing nothing at all
Is this to hard to recall?
I’ve been delegating
More like forget what you said and do my own thing
Funny that word delegating
Now with a whole new meaning
Or atleast what I try to make it
Time stops in your arms
For I’d fall away from your drop
I think I jumped this time
That’s no good
Is it
No it’s not
But why does a easy climb have such a hard stumble…
So easy to mumble…
God why do I feel this way
Such dismay for my reality
It’s standing right in front of me
These words feel to close to me
I want to wash them away
Like I do dirt in a shower
But yet does it matter
I know it’s does
I know you do
But God why do I feel so far from you
So close to the touch we were
Now I feel like the friend who gave no explanation
No
Validation
One who left a good
Without a goodbye
One you see everyday and still wonder
Why?
All I could do is cry but my tears have just nearly dry
The air make my eyes blind
So dry I forget to cry from what I was feeling
Am I hitting a new ceiling?
I new height to a pitfall
Or is it really nothing at all.
I tangle with the deception
So easy to deceive
…
Me.
I don’t know maybe I just need a baby I call daily
But no I need you.
Gosh why is this so hard
Fall hard, bruise faster
Believe me you have mastered
My heart and who I am
For I was crafted by your hand.
I sit waitingly at my own demise
But I know you hate to see me cry.
I try I try I try
Why is it not working
Oh gosh
This is so irking
I tear up at the sound of my inner screams right before me
Maybe a lil sin to make it better
But it only leaves my eyes wetter…….
