POEM STARTER
Inspired by Jewelie Rain
Write a poem that transitions through two or more of the seven stages of grief: denial, bargaining, anger, depression, loss of self, reflection, and acceptance.
Nothing
I feel nothing.
My lips are numb,
My tongue forgotten of words.
Silence plagues my ears
As chills shake my core.
I am no one.
As the grief swallows me,
I try to deny the pain.
Yet the salty stain of tears
Remind me once again
That something is missing.
Not only did you leave me,
But you took some of me with you.
I’ve lost myself,
Even if I’m denying the truth.
