WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
Show a powerful emotion – love, grief, rage - in a quiet, everyday moment.
Instead of writing a dramatic and drawn out scene, think about how subtle actions and sensory details can carry the weight of the feeling.
What I Want
I want.
To die.
I can.
Not cry.
I need.
To hide.
I want.
To die.
My wounds.
Are open.
Bleeding.
Fast.
My heart.
Is racing.
Pounding.
Past.
The world
It spins
Inside
My head.
I am.
So dizzy.
I want.
To be dead.
Over.
stepping.
Boundaries.
Past.
Alarms.
Go off.
And sirens.
Blast.
I am ghostly
Pale.
A hallow.
Shell.
Of what
I was
Before
The dusk.
Darkened.
Numb.
A soulless.
Feat.
I run
I hide
I shrink
I cry.
Please.
I want-
To die.
