STORY STARTER

Submitted by Ash

Just A Little More

Write a story or poem about a character who is always on a desperate pursuit for more than they have.

Numb Inside (original song)

Note: This is a song I wrote a bit ago, maybe almost two weeks ago. It kind of fit the prompt; I couldn’t think of anything to write. I’ve been struggling a bit mentally recently. Anyways, enjoy!

TW: Emotional abuse, brief su!c!de implication (one line)




Crashing into space

Crashing out of place

Holes all in the walls

Broken free-for-all


Think I’ve gone insane

Not everything’s a laughing game

I didn’t say it was!

You need to pause.


[Chorus]

You just tell lies

Don’t care if it hurts

You say you care

But it means nothing, nothing!


I don’t care anymore

Go ahead & hurt me more

You crossed the line too many times

I’m just numb inside

[End chorus]


He’s the middle, golden child

He’s the one who spoils it all

I’m just in the corner

Forgotten & ignored


You want me to be someone I’m not

But you say I shouldn’t change on the spot

Not for someone I don’t know

…do I know you?

Do you know me


(Chorus)


Is this battle still worth living?

Tell me what I’m not seeing

Tell me what I didn’t do

TELL ME WHAT I MEAN TO YOU


The only face I know is rage

Only voice I know is screaming

Only tell me to behave

Inwardly, I’m seething & scheming


My revenge will be ice cold

Like the phonetics of our last name

This is serious,

Oh, now this is a game?

Really, that’s a shame…


(Chorus)
