POEM STARTER
Survival
Write a poem based on the theme of survival.
surviving
I donāt remember
the feeling of being okay
I donāt remember
the desire to achieve something
I donāt 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 whatās the point?
It wonāt matter if I stop trying
It wonāt matter if I let myself fall
_It wonāt matter if I crash_
_and become broken forever_
__
_It wonāt 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
Thatās it
A _zombie._
__
At this point,
Iām definitely not living
But honestly,
am I even surviving?
