POEM STARTER
Out of Reach
Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.
Out Of Reach
He threw things at me
Once again
During his diper change
When he wasnt supposed to
I once again
Told you
About it
Like I always fo
And you
Once again
Ignored every word
that left my mouth
I went into the family room
While my dad was in the kitchen afterwards
And picked up everything he threw
And said loudly that he threw it at me. Ignored
I tell you things about my stroies
My drawings and interests
Each and every day
And you ignore me
I tell you what my siblings do
To me each day
Claw me, pull my hair, kick me, punch me
How is it, that you somehow don’t hear me?
Why is your attention
Your love
Your listening ears
Your care
Just out of reach for me?
I don’t feel loved
Or heard
Or seen
It’s crazy why I need my phone
Why am I so attached?
Why do I love it so?
Maybe it’s because
The people on my phone
Give me more love
More care
More attention
Then you ever do to me
And for that
I thank them
Every one who follows, comments, chats, reads, supports
_Thank you_
I don’t say it that much
Or at all
But I am so very thankful
For everyone across the screen
Their looks may be
Out of reach for me
But their care and attention and love
Shows more then yours does
I was feeling very shitty last night with my siblings and parents bullshit they do then I got to thanking and yeah. This is the aftermath of my thinking. And I DO mean the thank you to the readers, my followers, the ones who comment and like and chat and support. I am so very grateful for all of you 🫶 Thank you so much 💜
