WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by J.L.
From the perspective of a phobia or disease, create a narrative about how you are impacting someone’s life.
Think about how you can personify this particular disease or phobia, or its motives and behaviours.
Your Delicious, Dying Mind
I will feast on your dying mind—
Devour your fond memories,
Eat away at your thoughts,
Gnaw on your ancient beliefs
I am the monster that feeds
On your once-alive brain
And then makes sure that
Your loved ones get eaten too.
Nothing but crumbs will be left
Of offspring you raised tenderly
Your sweet, sweet granchildren
Snapped up into my waiting jaws.
You will have nobody left;
Bite by bite I will snatch them
All away from you as you lie
Helpless to watch them go—
And my good comrade Death
Will dine on the final pieces
Of your dying mind.
