POEM STARTER

Survival

Write a poem based on the theme of survival.

Two Years

Somehow still alive but am I the same?

I guess I’m the only one I have to blame

Imploding dreams of music and fame

It is for the best I stop playing this game


My feet will always walk

I’ve half learned when to talk

Words stifled by locks

Even threw out my rocks


Am I a poet

Or a girl with a poem

Maybe I’ll blow it

But one day I’ll show them


I am too forgiving

To live a life of pivoting

From walls that are limiting

Survival is not living


The end is not quite in sight

Until it’s at my door I will fight

I will not stop trying to write

With my love and with my spite.


(Thank you everyone for the love and support you have given me the past two years on this app. This past year has been hard but I’m grateful to everyone I’ve met and talked to and read the writings of. Truly thank you. 🩵)
