POEM STARTER

'Backwards'

Use this single word to inspire a poem.

I cannot move forwards, no not without you

as i walk down the path - the one i had paved for myself with all of the sleepless nights spent working on math. i am almost to the end, to reach my success and as i turn to look back at all of the things i've left behind. my eyes become a waterfall, but i think im happy nonetheless a familiar touch brushes my hand, and i find myself in a bind is this all really worth it, to leave you behind? i want to go back to us spending an indefinite amount of time while i admire you in my words of rhyme i'm not ready to let you go, no not for this because if i became successful, for the price of losing you i would throw it all away, and chase after you, trying to undo all the damage i've done, blinded by ambition to posses your love has become my only mission the path i had once walked down religiously it seems i no longer want to write that symphony so i start towards you almost like i have nothing to lose but when i weigh the pros and cons success only stands in bronze. and there is something i want more, darling that is you so let me atone for my sin because now i know you are worth more than any cheap "win"
