Gifted/Cursed: Poem for Aspiring Writers
Hmm, how's that for a title? Seriously, sometimes they're one and the same. It's so hard to tell a good story, but I can't help but try.
Fall in love with people
no one else knows
Cry about tragedies
no one else sees
It's a dream
a world in your throat
that you can't quite speak
Feelings real as anything
about phantoms
hallucinations in the night
It's only a story
Write it down
with just enough skill
to make you think you can
Just enough love
to keep trying
and nothing more
Try
And again
Because you must
It's your gift
Fall in love with people
no one else knows
Cry about tragedies
no one else sees
It's a dream
a world in your throat
that you can't quite speak
Feelings real as anything
about phantoms
hallucinations in the night
It's only a story
Write it down
with just enough skill
to make you think you can
Just enough love
to keep trying
and nothing more
Try
And again
Because you must
It's your gift
Nice! Gifted and cursed do feel like the same things...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't see how this is negative at all, haha. (That's right, I'm laughing at you!)
