Writing Prompt

What did you do?

What got you through?

Too much caffeine

Makes me feel mean

Too much negativity on the news

Feels like being abused

Too many expectations, then let downs

Gets me down, reflecting my wind down

Too much chaos becomes mental disorder

I become like a negativity hoarder

Too many haunting, heavenly dreams

Meeting my demons unaware, it seems

A lack of inspiration

keeps me in suspended...

What did you do?

They asked you

Concern and worry

Laced in their voices

What did you do?

They yelled at you

Tears running down their face

Their eyes burring with hate

What did you do?

They screamed at you

Hate spewing out

Of of their wicked mouths...

What did you do?

When the days stretched long,

and the darkness came to play?

Loneliness and longing,

pulling at your sleeves,

whispering in your ear.

Did you fight their grasp?

Did you scream for silence?

Did you beg them to go away?

What did you do?

To be happy?

To be successful?

Everything you ever asked for,

placed in your hands—

silver platter, golden chance.

But you,

too blind to see the bl...

What did you do?

Red on the floor

Furniture turned

Scratch on the door

What did you do?

In the mountains

Missing persons

Run like fountains

What did you do?

Gags and rope

Empty basement

Is there no hope...

What did you do

When I tried to tell you what was wrong

And how I felt

You made it all my fault

What did you do when I asked you to explain

How I could be a better person

You got mad at me

And shut me out

What did you do when I said I felt

Like more of a therapist than a friend

You got mad

But did it again

What did you do

When I asked to hang out

You yelled at me

That I could never chill out

...

It wasn’t her, it wasn’t me.

Don’t lie, I saw you flee,

flee from all of this misery.

We all knew who, so let me ask you;

“What did _you_ do?”

Your mother is dead,

your father in a hospital bed.

Look at all of this blood you have shed.

None of us knew, please let me ask you;

“_What_ did you do!?”

Now you’re on the stand,

answering questions on command.

You say it wasn’t from your hand.

Tell m...

“What did you do?”

as if the men walked towards me in pairs of twos

the feeling of freedom’s gone like it flew

when the locks all screwed

like when something’s being brewed

and all you can feel is yourself not being flew

“What did you do?”

as if the birds cawed in their cages to be fed

the feeling of people going into dread

when the switches got flipped and everyone pled

like when the wires were...

What did you do?

I let you in…

I swore I would never do something so foolish again…

Giving myself over…

And now this?

This is torture.

What did you do?

My head is spinning…

How could you be all about me and suddenly nothing.

Not a text.

Not a call.

Every message undelivered.

What did you do?

Let you you see everything…

Know every piece of me…

How could you?

Leaving me with all this que...

What did you do?

When the jokes arose

Like smoke burning where a fire once stood

Dark and thick, choking even the brightest lights?

You laughed, you agreed.

Tall and proud, how orange flames roar

Ash now twinkling like a summer’s rain

And brushed it off your shoulders with a grin

What did you do?

When gnarled lines twisted

Up the tree and down the branches

Sap slowly seeping through open cracks?...

“What did you do?”

What did I do?

I told someone something I wasn’t allowed to and now they told you.

How you were off your meds and causing me a panic attack after you ran around a restaurant and sexually assaulting me and my boyfriend as a joke.

As compensation you said “oh she lied I just _poked_ her boyfriends ass”

“What did you do”

I started struggling with my eating

“Just force it ...
