POEM STARTER
Submitted by TheQuillPen
Write a poem about giving up.
It doesn’t have to be negative, it can be about giving up something or someone that’s been holding you back.
I’m Done
In my head, I’m done… Moved from living reality But reality is stuck in two And I silently scream
In a heap - can’t describe Lost on a sea never been sailed And I’m sad - so sad drowning in a sorrow so deep
Where do I turn? In my head, I want you here But I’m swirling In this churning hole
Despair is rising The grief that wasn’t spent Is chipping Tapping my shoulder saying
“Hey, I don’t think you know me but I’ve been here all the time and I’ve been waiting… You’ll get to know me well, so well”
And he went - Only behind a thin veil But he’ll return again And again
I want you - only you… You made me feel so alive But you’re not here You’re far… so far
And I’m slipping away Lost on an empty sea with nowhere to go I’m drifting, only one way… I’m done
