POEM STARTER
Submitted by Cassandra Elliot 🌹
Write a poem or short story that embodies the feeling of being chosen last.
Sabotage (Of The Self Variety)
Tell me everything,
Give to me your burdens
That I heard about from
Someone else.
An invitation ushered
Through panicked lips.
Callouses form and break,
Lines form under
Continued weight.
Second to work,
Second to dinner.
First to help,
First to crumble.
Rest, my friends,
For I do not mind
Being placed in the drawer
When the shelf
became too crowded.
Shelter in the fact that
Regardless of my
Position in the field,
I will come with open arms
And a burdened heart.
