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.

Grief

It never happened it never will

Why would you say these vile things

And expect me to believe you

Why would you let these words exit your mouth

When you know they are not true

What did they do to you?

To convince you to falsify

Why would you fib

When the truth is much easier


It couldn’t be true could it

It could all be a dream

A scheme made by politics

A power trip over confidence

I told you this with a healthy concious

Don’t go telling people

That I am starting to believe your lies as truth


But how could it fucking be true

It cant be true and you know it

Why would you lie

right to my damned face

Dont let the door hit you on the way out

Or do

The sound of the smack

As it hits your sorry ass

Would be well over due


Why did I say those things to you

It was so cruel

For what you said was true

And now i am stuck in this state

Of trying to fix me and trying to fix you

Would yoh take me back

Or did I mess it all up

Never should have said those words

Should have kept my mouth shut


I don’t know who I am anymore

Because the real me would never say those things

Bever slam the door or recoil at words

I reach my hand in front of me

Am I a hollagram or a mirage

Or did I never exist in the first place

Am I a figment of imagination

Can I disappear and dissociate

What if I never existed

Would it fix the heart ache


I see now

When I look in the mirror

My face still the same

My actions mirrored

Reflection staring back

I staree into my soul

So hard I burn a hole

I see how wring I was

And how you were ever right


I am sorry for the mistakes I made

The accusations in my grief

I realize now however sad

That you were struggling too

I will pick myself up off the floor

Help you go through the cycle

Because I know more

Now that I experienced the throws

Of greif
