WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a story comprised only of sentences of five words.
Although you can write about whatever you like, consider how the word limit will shape the phrasing, tension and pace of your piece.
Break Down
Every day, I break down
Whether from stress or sound
It depends on who’s around
Who’s there to guide me
When I can’t get out
Every day I break down
Mourning what could have been
I don’t mean lost relationships
I mean my lost marbles
I just want to heal
Every day I break down
The same old wounds reopening
I’m always over or undereating
Seeing faces in the walls,
Or shadows in the halls
Every day a break down
Ever a battle of strength
Fighting urges to remove fingers
Little voice calling to me
Little voice calling to burn
Every day a break down
My mother says I’m fine
Dad thinks I’m a genius
Brother thinks I’m a badass
But I know I’m broken
