A Right to Life

1/31/2022

0 Comments

 
A child’s cough
A worker’s broken bones
Health issues we have
No knowledge of
A woman’s hip
A man’s neck
None of which
Can afford to be fixed
To bring a child
Into the world
Will rob you blind

A vehicle designed
To aid those who are in need
Cannot be afforded
By the masses
We were promised
A right to liberty
Pursuit of happiness
But most of all
A right to life
Where did it go
There’s no right to live here
A right to pain
A right to poverty
A right to strife
Welcome
To the land of the free

Write about a subject other than writing/english. -Anonymous

What is the equation
For love
For friendship
For happiness
What can I add or subtract
To be alright
I’ve always been good at math
They say it doesn’t work like that
That the solution to life
Can’t be found
With some grand calculation
So I’ll sit
Adding numbers and values
Until I find the answer

What're You Doing Today?

I don’t know how to start a conversation
I feel myself starting to sweat
My hands are getting cold
My stomach’s tied in knots
My head’s going to explode
And my throat is closing up
I’m going to pass out
Oh
Uh
Hi there
Yeah, I’m alright
My weekend was okay
Yours was too?
Well that’s just great
Hope you don’t have a boyfriend yet
No, no, I’m just joking
I’m funny like that
But speaking of
Well, uh, I had a thing
Something I wanted to ask
No, it isn’t bad
Well, at least I’d hope not
….Anyway
I was just wondering
I shouldn’t even ask
No, I’ll be ok
I was wondering
What’re you doing
Afterschool today?
Nothing?
Oh, uh, great

I’ll pick you up at eight?

Write about music. -Anonymous

Doh, ray, mee, fah, soh, lah, tee, doh
There’s music in my head
It’s playing on repeat
Every single hour
I can’t think around
The music in my head
It turns my life into a symphony
Of violins, trombones, and drums
Whirling into insanity
Forever plagued
By notes and lyrics
I can’t think or hear or see
So I sit quietly
And listen

Ghosts

Did you know
That I'm haunted by my ghosts
A graveyard of my failings
Is the place where I reside
There’s no dead family
No dead friends
Just my dearly departed
Hopes and dreams
The spirits, they haunt me
They stare in my soul
The howls in the night
Are an echo
Of the ghosts of my goals
I have let pass me by

Friendship: Write about being friends with someone. https://thinkwritten.com/365-creative-writing-prompts/

The world is full of lost souls
Lonely people
Lonely faces
Grasping onto one another
Pulling each other down
Trying to get a grip
On the rapidly spinning world
Around them
There’s no one you can trust
Is there a place for us?
Where do we go from here?
In the distance
A light
An outstretched hand
A pause
From the storm
A smile
A happy end?
Yes
A friend

A Lack

1/10/2022

A lack of inspiration
A lack of heart
A lack of productivity
A lack of art
Try as I might
I will scarce succeed
To get ideas on a page
To get a story made
A blank page is a bullet
An empty mind the gun
Loaded, cocked
And ready to fire
A lack of ideas
Will be the death of me

A special time under the stars https://writersrelief.com/2018/12/14/125-of-the-best-poetry-writing-prompts-for-poets-writers-relief/


Gentle caress
Along my face
The moonlight
And my lips
Kiss your skin
The stars are shining
Illuminating
Our life
Our world
You shine here
You’re bright here
More than
The angels of light
You light
My path
Our way
This time
This day

The Sun Has Set

The world was full of warmth
And sun
And smiles
Your arms around my chest
Content in every breath
My love, our love
The sun
Shining down on two souls
Gracing us
With her heavenly light
But love
The sun has set
On our time together
The warmth 
Has been siphoned
Away from our hearts
Away from our arms
Back into the air
The sun has set
On our time together
But love
Maybe some night
I'll meet you
In the moonlight
And we can dance
Til the sun shines on us
Again
