The Burden of Memory
Write a poem that could have this as its title.
The Burden Of Memory
A memory is a blessing,
A moment in disguise,
Each thought a passing moment,
Right between your eyes.
It is a solemn escape,
The darkness in the light,
But that was what I said,
Before one kept me up at night.
Your words were like a dagger,
Sharp, smooth and cold,
For when I wished to have your heart,
It was no longer mine to hold.
You became distant,
A burden in my mind,
A cut that always bled,
The one I had yet to find.
I searched for you once more,
In hopes you’d taken back what you told,
But like I said before,
Your heart was no longer mine to hold.
You were the heavy weight in my chest,
What woke me from my reverie,
To sleep I must tell myself,
You were just a burden in my memory.
if you’re here i posted part two of “I love you darling”— it’s official book name is TAINTED RUBY though so choose to call it either of those
so i have officially done
-hercules draft (draft two— draft one is zero and draft three is hero) prologue
-first scene of hercules draft chapter one
-entire zero draft chapter one
so yay!!
Omg yes! Sorry I’ve had so much to do and no time to read or write lately lol
you here?
OH 😭🙏 honestly just go for it. Everyone says to use fancy Pinterest boards and character planning sheets but tbh you don’t really need to imo 😅 you got this and I’m sure you can find alternatives! It also helps me to read some pages or a chapter from a book or writing sample to just get into the creative flow mindset. You can do ittt
Okay I’ve got the first scene of part two done, don’t fall asleep I swear this is gonna be great I literally almost gasped when I reread it like I was like “that came out of MY FINGERS!?” Like I’m on a ROLL rn
i need motivation to write chapter one of my book (edited the prologue and put it in a document, 1089 words in!!)
OMG SO PROUD…honestly just scroll thru Pinterest, get that aesthetic in your mind, lock in with a good playlist (i have one just for my books vibes). That’s what I do haha. And don’t worry too much about editing…the rough draft is just to get your ideas out!
I’m sure you know already, but it’s basically like the few random lines you scribble before sketching a masterpiece. Just get those words out, even if it’s cringe or doesn’t make sense, then you can worry about it after!
And remember…the sooner it’s done the sooner I’ll be able to read it AND literally let it send me into a reading slump cuz it was so good…you got this!
girly how long is this exam 😭
I’m doneee just had extra work to do
