POEM STARTER
Out of Reach
Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.
Help
_(If this is confusing, sorry, my mind is a mess and I just complied 90% of my thoughts into this. This is everything all at once. Hope you have a great day!)_
__
I can’t get help,
It’s far out of reach.
I’d have to
Admit
I need help,
But I can’t
I am
“Little miss independent”
“Little miss strong”
“Little miss gifted”
“Little Miss Perfect”.
I can’t help but worry,
What would happen
If I told my parents?
They’d probably
Go around and tell
The whole damn family
Because our family is like a
Game of fucking telephone.
I can rarely even tell
My closest friends when
I sruggle.
I’m getting tired.
Some days,
I wish I could die
But,
I made a promise.
I know I need help,
I’m falling apart.
Is this the burnout
From being a gifted kid?
Because I can’t
Focus nor read.
It’s like I’m stuck
In a paralyzis,
I can’t move to do my work.
I mean,
Physically, I can
But,
I’m mentally
Blocked and overwhelmed.
I have no on to blame
But me.
I’m a fucking mess.
Hygiene is getting hard again,
That’s great for me.
I want to die,
No,
I want help.
I want someone to know
I’m drowning in my mind
And
I need help.
I don’t know how much longer
I can keep on pretending.
I am a mess of thought.
I’m scared to say
I want help.
I’m scared my parents will
Find out through a
Friend
Because I’ve gotten
Really fucking bad.
I’m scared of how
I’ll turn out without any help.
I’m scared of what will happen
If I don’t finish my schoolwork
In time.
I’m running out of time!
I’m just scared.
I’m scared.
I
Am
Scared
And tired.
Please don’t love
Me.
Please don’t leave
Me.
I don’t know.
I want to be loved
(I crave affection or at least a little attention)
But I don’t
(Because I haven’t done anything to deserve it).
I want you to leave
(Because I deserve it)
But I don’t
(Because I need you).
I want to love
(Because everyone needs love)
But it’s hard
(It can be hard, especially to love yourself).
I’m a mess of thoughts
And pain.
I love you,
But I can’t understand
How you love me.
How do you love me?
Help is out of reach
But, just maybe, one day,
I’ll run to it.
