Writing Prompt

The hardest thing I’ve ever done

Thought it would be so much fun

In a lot of ways it is, having a son

Two even, the Lord has been good

Only wish He’d given me a lot more

Patience and empathy at my core

To navigate this journey, I implore

Help me to survive my fatherhood

How can I be someone I never had

To comfort me whenever I was sad

And teach me how to be a real Dad

One who stayed, acted as h...

In the dark and light I Rome

I drink I drive I swerve this road

Memories memories seem to be the only home I know

My path is clear and I still lose sight

Have you ever had a make out session with death

Does your right sometimes feel like your left

Do you ever never feel the depth of your own breath

Do you ever wonder if tonight will be your last night...

What is the difference between life and death?

Will we only know when we fade into the depths

and take your last breath

and will that your not a hoe

and how hard you tired

even if you lied

or if you ran and hid

maybe then they’ll see how low

you stooped

as if you tied a rope into a loop

and jumped through the hoop

maybe then they’ll know

that they broke your heart

and ripped you apart

...

My thoughts spill out as words

They paint beautiful flowers and graceful birds

I am catigorized with nerds

But I am so much more than that,

I write because I need to

On the wings of my fantasy I flew

Each sentence I write adds something new

Each story something to wonder at,

Though poems flowed as my heart bled

Stories seem to run along in my head

Plot and settings coming and going as I lay in...

A good day it must’ve been,

A good day, for the devil knew you would sin,

He was festering under your skin,

It was simply a matter of time.

You pleaded and begged for it,

Your face pale and moonlit,

You never thought on your own permit,

Until you heard the three bells chime.

An angel cried at the sight,

Cried at the sight of your fading light,

For god, he now must smite,

For those stairs you can...

The rose is there, just as she said

It shines beneath the glass, bright red

With magic it floats, yet it fills me with dread

For I know its secret for the final hour

For it measures the heart of our young prince

Since the day his selfishness made her heart wince

As a beast he was cursed from that day since

And in shame he never leaves the castle’s west tower

A young maiden, lost, no shelter to b...

My heart beats fast

They’ll save me last

Watch me crash

Watch me burn

I try to breathe

My heart skips a beat

A silent heat

That takes a turn

I can see your eyes pry

I know that I have lied

I’m sorry, I’m just shy

And I have no cure

I don’t understand the math

It’s just another panic attack

It’s just another relapse

When will you learn?...

This poem is an anchor line

Be patient and give it time

Time to see how the lines rhyme

And what makes this format rich

Did you see what was written?

The first two lines rhyme and then

For the third we rhyme again

But for the fourth line we switch

You see the pattern I bet

The first three lines are a set

The fourth’s like an epaulet

Weaving a uniform stitch

What do we get exactly?

A sense of st...

The kids are wide awake,

It’s 10 at night God sake!

There are no more breaths to take.

I can’t help but feel so mad.

These kids, they always cry.

No matter how i try,

My day just drags on by.

But i swear its not all bad.

Hard times are just a trial

Sit back and watch a while

Because when you see them smile

It’s so hard to still be sad

The days that i can stay

At home with them and play,

I sure ...

when she holds me close,

her perfume welcomes my nose,

she lets me borrow her bows,

she could love me so.

when she harms my brain,

say painful words, say i’m insane,

“i wish i could love you, but you’re so plain,”

she couldn’t love me so.

when she asked for some help,

with the sound of my yelp,

the fact i was allergic and couldn’t have kelp,

maybe she doesn’t love me so.

the beep of my heart,
