The sky above is burning
The world around keeps turning But I’m I’m going to sail away Like a ship on a stormy sea With no anchor to drown me I’m sailing away Watch me set free Of this captivity The storm that shakes my brain My life full of endless pain But as the sky above starts to burn And the sail on my mast is born Everyone who gave me scars All those filthy liars Who never gave a damn They’ll see who I am I’ll break free of these chains That have been holding me back For so long And I will set free With the ocean to guide me “Write about something growing” -Anonymous
A shoot of green in the earth Stretching up to full potential Delicate and soft But ever shooting up Face stretched to the sun Ever grinning In spite of drought How do you still grow? A threat at bay
Guns drawn Hand on the trigger Who will be the first to shoot? Waiting For our early demise When everyone can despise The world One one cares who lives or dies BLM and blue lives Rights for husbands and wives The poor keep starving The rich are richer And yet We are so focused on each other We are not the enemy Republicans and Democrats Climate change and MAGA hats What happened to human lives? What happened to empathy? Compassion? Opening your door For someone to crash in? What happened to family? Support? Not hearing horrors in every news report? When did we become so desensitized To this cold, cold war? 30. Weighing your options https://writersrelief.com/2018/12/14/125-of-the-best-poetry-writing-prompts-for-poets-writers-relief/
Their eyes are on mine Their hand on my waist That feeling in the air That look on their face Two options to choose from Which way shall I go? Lost and I’m frozen In a land full of snow Do I say yes Or do I say no What to do? There’s too much to do
Too much to say Too much to think about Flying fist after fist Don’t know if I can Survive another bout If I don’t leave now I’m gonna explode If I don’t quit this game I’m gonna implode So blast music louder than you can think Throw away all your responsibilities Turn you head to the sky And our false illusion of a god who cares And laugh So you don’t explode |
