WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by J.L.
From the perspective of a phobia or disease, create a narrative about how you are impacting someone’s life.
Think about how you can personify this particular disease or phobia, or its motives and behaviours.
Borderline
Angry, sad, calm, full of depression
Suicidal or a really happy person
I decide, who you are
I rule you, my unstable fool
I can change you day to day
So even your best friends won’t recognize you.
The joke is, that you don’t have friends,
Because nobody likes someone
Who hits and kicks and screams if angry
And hugs and kisses if gladsome.
Can’t escape me, I’ll be there
Even with that bottle wine
In your blood vessels,
Even with drugs
Even with bruises
Just accept it:
You can’t outrule me.
Anxiety grows in your stomach
Every day starts with a headache
No sleep, no wake,
Darkness only, for God’s sake
No goals, no morals,
Unstable self-concept
I suffer and suffer all day long,
Only because I am.
