Writing Prompt

Don’t ever post this. Seriously. Please dude.

———————————

That piece,

unseen by anyone but yourself…

A lone, dusty tome,

hung upon a crooked shelf.

Could you not live

with it being unopened?

Could you not dive

into another’s work,

forming community?

Surely that would get

your piece noticed.

Look to someone else for visibility.

You know I’ve been taking notes…

All those likes bu...

You’re delusional,

Thinking I’d ever love you,

How pathetic…

You’re so prideful.

You think you’re

Better than everyone else?

That’s just not true.

You

Are simply too

Full of pride.

An egotistical

Man like you,

Makes me go

Ewww…

Your personality sickens me,

Your pride is surely unearned.

I desperately want to

Take you down a peg

Or even two.

You’re self-absorbed to a

Hellish degree,

You, my “g...

5 letters

To avoid

Sinful,

Worldly,

You say

And yet you

You who rebukes it

So readily

You, struggling

To keep your facade

Of perfection;

It’s you

You who rebukes it

Personifying the

Very thing

The

Sinful,

Worldly,

Word, the

5 letters

That you

You cannot avoid....

My pride

Isn’t her pride

We’re separate,

Divided

Her pride

Is obvious

My pride,

secretive

What is pride?

Joy?

Revelation?

Ego?

My longing

Isn’t her longing

Well, maybe…

I guess I don’t know

Her fear

Might be my fear

Her tragedy

Shared

Our pride

Might be

If we could talk

If she could see...

**A flame within, burning bright,**

**Illuminating inner might.**

**Standing tall, head held high,**

**No need to shrink or justify.**

****

**Self-worth woven through each day,**

**A tapestry of who we are and what we say.**

**Embracing flaws and strengths alike,**

**A balance struck, no need to strike.**

****

**Yet beware the line so thin,**

**Between confidence and hubris grim.**

**True pride li...

Pride is a funny thing

It is why the student studies all day

To fully understand and not to need help

But then shoves it off and asks anyway

It is the reason that the employee

Swallows their pride and

Asks their boss for clarification...

It’s not a phase. It’s not a lie. It is me. I am bi. No, don’t speak. Hold your tongue. I need not your approval or songs to be sung. I simply need you to know, and be annoyed if you must. I am bi, and you’ll need to adjust. Just a small part of your brain, no big deal. Try it, and see how you feel. You need take no action, nor cry of my sorrow. You just need to be there still tomorrow. I am still...

Lil lesbian girl

In a homophobic world

How dare you love her

Society knows no different

Judged so much your becoming incoherent to the bullshit

Lil lesbian girl

How the small frame from a female makes your toes curl

Or a feminine smile keeps the conversation going for longer than a hour

Muni said it best I can do this for hrs and hrs

See it’s A touch like no other the intense emotion between...

( the opposite of the prompt but)

Hearing poems, what you claim

I see sanity’s lost in shame

Adds to the lost after a while

You seem to drown in the pile

Yet your much better than me

You suppress what I can’t unsee

Yet if I’m exposed I’m saved

Running from hell as it caved

Yet you seem much more happy

Not weak, damaged, sappy

You self medicate, seems to help

But the bitter knife makes me yelp...

I did it.

I hit a goal I set out to do.

It felt glorious.

100 days in a row on this app.

Proof of my dedication, proof of my consistency, my driving force.

I exalt— joyful, proud

I did it.

The only question is what do I do now?

Do I keep going, forever without pause?

Is it can I write for a year?

A whole 365?

Or do I take up a new challenge?

A new feat to climb?

I’m not sure, but ...
