POEM STARTER
Submitted by Feywild
Write a poem on the theme of sacrifices.
Sacrifices
Sacrifices need balance,
Otherwise you sacrifice who you are,
I know that now.
I sacrificed everything for you,
And somehow I’m the one at blame.
My time,
My heart,
My energy.
I gave and you took it all.
And you were oh so careless with it all.
Because you didn’t know it had a limit.
It didn’t until now.
Now my heart is breaking,
My time is gone,
And all of my energy is depleted.
And you still ask for more.
Wait no,
Let me correct that statement
You still take more
You take,
And take,
And take,
But never return the favor.
And now the core pieces of me are gone.
But you know what you also took?
My restraint,
My kindness,
My personality.
So now, have fun.
Because I’m not holding back anymore.
You lost that privilege a long time ago,
And I find myself disappointed I’m only acting on it now.
I scraficed everything for you
And now I’m not even me anymore.
