WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a paragraph or short story from the perspective of someone who feels disappointed.

You do not have to reveal what the character is disappointed about, nor do you have to make them overtly upset, but you should focus on the small signs and behaviours that show their emotions.

Disappointed

Poetry

I am disappointed in myself

For hating my body

When it keeps me breathing

Keeps me alive


I am disappointed in myself

For eating that candy

Instead of counting carbs


I am disappointed in myself

For spending my parents money

On clothes and on doctors


I am disappointed in myself

For eating too much again

And being mad


I am disappointed in myself

For thinking i wouldn’t hurt

after doing things all day


I am disappointed in myself

For not asking to be payed

On payday


I am disappointed in myself

For spending my money

Instead of saving


I am disappointed in myself

For breaking down in the dentist parking lot

Because why is healthcare expensive


I am disappointed in myself

For thinking i am too old

To be getting cavities


I am disappointed in myself

For nig being more present

In this community that loves me


I am disappointed in myself

For writing this

Instead of keeping inside

Except maybe for that last one

I am kinda proud
