Challenge
Write like no one is reading
So everyone's heard of dance like no one is watching, same thing but with writing. You'll have to really pretend because everyone will read it. That's the challenge, write so free, so true, like no one will ever see it. Poetry, prose, or confessions..whatever you feel is what you should do.
Numb
I can’t cry anymore.
It may be from the death of my father.
My brothers leaving to serve a country that is falling apart.
My terminal illness no one seems to comprehend.
They think I don’t cry because I’m strong, but my mind, my body, I’m numb.
I try to cry, I can’t. My lungs are filled with hatred.
Hatred towards my indecisiveness.
Hatred towards the men who have hurt me.
Hatred towards myself for knowing the feeling of hate.
I can’t cry anymore.
I need to cry again.
