Survival

Write a poem based on the theme of survival.

I Don’t Even Know Just Sick

I think I’m quitting,

I think I’m giving up,

This war feels like it’s winning,

2 days has been enough,


I’m sick inside,

I feel like I’m drowning,

I’m sick outside,

I can’t eat anything,


All my nines led up to this,

I really hate this ten,

Never had I felt it,

I hope I never will again,


If you don’t come back,

I’m sick, I’m tired, I’m done,

If you aren’t mine I’ll crack,

And I won’t believe in love,


I’m sick of being proven wrong,

Every time I choose to trust,

In the end they’re gone,

And I’m left here in the dust,


Hanging up the phone that night,

Felt so heavy and so hard,

It felt in the moment I might die,

My heart and brain are scarred,


I wish I didn’t have them,

A heart or a brain,

They hurt me again and again,

And don’t want to feel anything,


I wish I didn’t feel,

I envy the Tin Man,

He got a heart but it’s not real,

I wish I was like him,


Instead of wishing for a heart,

I’m wishing mine away,

And oh what I wouldn’t start,

To with him trade my place,


I’m sick you hear me sick,

Of being in so much pain,

Why’d it have to be like this,

Why couldn’t I stay?


I want to understand,

And I know it’s better for you,

But I can’t do this, damn,

I’m trying but I lose,


This battle that I’m fighting,

Wish I could say that I’m fine,

But if I did then I’d be lying,

I’m trying to give it time,


But time is the last thing I wanna give,

I want you back right now,

But that just isn’t how it is,

Things have to change somehow,


You’ve been my life for so long,

Nearly a year and a half,

That’s not something I wanna unlearn,

Please oh please come back,


As long as you come back,

I think I could manage a few years,

But it’s causing me to snap,

And my head is filled with fears,


Cause what if that was it,

The last “I love you” and “goodbye”

The last time I’ll call you baby,

Last time you’ll call me then at night,


I can’t see you with anyone,

Not anyone but me,

And maybe that’s a selfish thought,

But selfish I can be,


I don’t want someone else,

Please don’t make me learn someone new,

I don’t want to be by myself,

But I don’t want someone I want you,


If you don’t come back I’ll breathe slow,

Let this grief teach me to stand,

I’ll stitch my pieces but I’ll still know,

How I still wish to hold your hand,


I won’t forget, but I’ll survive,

But I can’t stop loving you,

It’s not living but I’ll be alive,

Come back, please, won’t you?
