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
