POEM STARTER
Submitted by TheQuillPen
Write a poem about giving up.
It doesn’t have to be negative, it can be about giving up something or someone that’s been holding you back.
A Piece Of Me
The outside starts to crack
Secrets desperately try escaping
It’s a daily struggle, to stay on track
And not start over from the beginning
Instagram models, showing off some skin
Make the temptation hard to resist
“For you” page littered with sin
Come on, you’re better than this
I’m reminded some days are tougher
Trying to peel myself away
But with the effort comes the suffer
Of getting better every day.
So I’ll think about the future instead,
And remind myself of this
I’m doing fine, I whisper in my head
We’ll climb out of porn’s abyss
Whoa! It’s been a minute since I got punched in the face with some words. I admire your vulnerability, and the rawness of the piece. I am so glad I stumbled upon your writing! I know this pain. I live it, I have lived it.
Stand strong, brother! Hold fast to that grace! Run with all endurance!
