WRITING OBSTACLE
Inspired by Samantha Roberts
Write a descriptive scene about a character feeling the sunlight on their face for the first time in a very long while.
Try to use as many senses as you can to capture this moment.
Too Much
I’ve spent so long in the cold
Dreaming of feeling the sun again
And as I finally step outside
The warmth hits my face
(It’s too warm, too much)
I’ve spent so long in the dark
Dreaming of seeing the sun again
And as I finally step outside
The light fills my eyes
(It’s too bright, too much)
I’ve spent so long on my own
Dreaming of seeing people again
And as I finally speak to them
I say I feel great
(That’s a lie, it’s all too much)
I’ve spent so long without help
But I’m fine, I don’t need it
(I do, I wish they could see it)
Maybe I should tell them
(It’s not like they’d care)
(I’m too much of a burden)
