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. 🩵)
