Write a poem in five parts. The sections can be numbered or named but they must all be clearly separated from each other within the poem as a whole.
Fear is my Familiar excuse
In my days of darkness,
I sought comfort in fear.
I got used to living in that
space of wretchedness.
I built my castle on that familiar excuse.
Remedies
Do everything with love,
gratitude and hope in your heart.
Train your eyes to view the world
with kindness and compassion.
-this is my mother’s remedy to living well.
Readiness
The break dawn is a new beginning
a world of possibilities awaits me.
I am ready for the day.
I am ready for a new challenge.
I am ready to grow.
Uninspired –
my words so uninspired
my thoughts are tortured in a cave of emptiness
that reverberates desperate hopelessness.
I feel so uninspired –
Ah shit… it’s writer’s block again.
Fatality of feeling
She sang me a lullaby,
deadbeat hearts who once were alive
and felt everything so intensely.
they died of over-feeling.
Victims to the fatality of feelings.
