POEM STARTER

Submitted by Brittany Lawson

Write a poem about someone stuck in a cycle of self destruction. Just as they are about to exit the cycle or have a breakthrough, the poem starts back at the beginning.

broken hearts

I rip my heart out

And and then my hair falls out

The time ticks on the clock

My time is running out


In my chest is a gaping wound

And I let it bleed out

The crimson staining the floor

As I plead ‘help me, now’!


My friends are hollowed out

And they stare blankly at me

And every time I plead for help

They look at me like I’ve asked for my eggs, over easy


Every time my heart bleeds out,

I run to the hospital

Treat me! I’m dying from the inside out

By they tell me ma’am we cannot at all see your wounds


A broken heart can kill

And it always nearly does

And ever time U go tk the hospital

They send me back home


The cycle repeats and

I always try to feel

Try to rip my heart out from my chest

Just to show them my pain is very real
