POEM STARTER
Survival
Write a poem based on the theme of survival.
surviving
I don’t remember
the feeling of being okay
I don’t remember
the desire to achieve something
I don’t remember
why this all is worth it
I spend my days
hiding bloody wounds
after spending my nights
waking up from empty sadness
Time is just
an endless loop
of nothing
So what’s the point?
It won’t matter if I stop trying
It won’t matter if I let myself fall
_It won’t matter if I crash_
_and become broken forever_
__
_It won’t matter_.
Everything I love
has turned gray
Beaches,
writing,
being at home,
sunshine,
and
all of my good memories
Everything has become
a lump of dread
empty and cold
So what am I now?
An alien?
A _zombie?_
__
Yes
That’s it
A _zombie._
__
At this point,
I’m definitely not living
But honestly,
am I even surviving?
