POEM STARTER
Submitted by Oddity
Write a poem or short story about someone who lives alone in a bubble.

Weightlessness
Weightlessness consumes my pulsing thoughts
I’m irrelevant now
Like a speck of dust
The magic, it worked
No longer feel hurt
I’m ready this time, I quietly quirk
Liberation rises and swells into me
I can’t believe, I thought
I’m finally free
The gawking and jeering shrivels and dies
As I float to the heavens and into the light
I drift and I drift until I stop
To realize this was all for naught
“Oh no,” I panick, “This can’t be true”
But Death glides over then chuckles,
“Yes, how unfortunate for you”
“You can’t cheat me, no matter the tries”
“Please-,” I beg, “Give me some time”
The hope, once flowing, now a trickle
Knowing I failed and I’m in a pickle
Death looks amused and my despair doubles
“You know the rules,” he says not troubled
“Out of sight, out of heaven, and inside a bubble”
Now, I’m irrelevant and floating,
Like a speck of dust
Wind giving direction by the gust
Weightlessness consumes my every thought
Confinement, instead, the current plot
