POEM STARTER

Submitted by Brittany Lawson

Write a poem about someone stuck in a cycle of self destruction. Just as they are about to exit the cycle or have a breakthrough, the poem starts back at the beginning.

Insanity

Actually, I’ll take a sip…


Mm the sip that delightfully burns,


The sip that ironically cures,


I use spirits to lift my spirits,


Until my body purges it and I replenish it,


This leads to solemn days of mascerades,


Letting my cheerful nature fool anyone close enough to sense danger,


Wait, who are you?


Your turning my world upside down,


A new light that won’t let me drown,


I can feel this new breathe bring life back into me,


It feels so good,


So new so true,


This is it!


Wait, where’d you go…


Actually, I’ll take a sip …
