POEM STARTER
Submitted by Karman
Write a poem about the protagonist getting something off of their chest.
Misery
This isn’t what I wanted.
People weren’t meant to get hurt.
My heart is heavy.
My mind is foggy.
They’re dead.
All of them.
My heart has shattered.
My limbs ache.
I beg you to take me with them.
I’m begging.
I will drop down in front of you.
Just take me with them.
I will grasp at you clothes.
I will plead.
I will cry.
Just take me.
I didn’t want you to take them.
You were meant to get me.
Please.
This isn’t what I wanted.
You weren’t meant to get hurt.
There’s a bullet in my chest cavity.
Where my heart used to be.
A wound that only you could inflict.
