POEM STARTER
Inspired by Daniel HJ
If Only...
Write a poem which starts or ends with "If only".
If Only
If only I wasn’t like this.
I stare at myself in the mirror, dissociating from my body.
If only I didn’t overthink everything
If only I got shit done
If only I could actually focus
If only
If only
If only.
If only I wasn’t standing in front of my mirror, over-analyzing my thoughts, w/out any control.
If only this would all stop
Just. Stop.
What am I waiting for?
The silence that I know won’t come?
The love I know won’t be returned?
The fear I know won’t go away?
What the hell’s stopping me from living my life?
My disassociated self.
If only I weren’t like this.
