Day 81: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: I Floss My Tears
No one understands me...
I sit hear crying, but no one hears me
I look for love, but no one is there
I look for comfort, but there is only fear
No one understands me...
It is difficult being different
It is difficult being deformed
It is difficult when all you want is love
No one understands me...
I did not choose to be born this way
I did not choose to be a freak
I did not choose to be the way I am
No one understands me...
No one understands how its like being me
To be a monster
with mouth for eyes
No one understands me when I cry
I do not wipe the tears from my eyes
No one understands me when I cry
because I floss my tears from my eyes
Well, now everything has changed
I don't need your words of comfort
I don't need your words of love
I don't need your false smiles
Well now, everything has changed
Now I long only for the sounds of screams
I was not like this before
But you've driven me to be what I am
You've driven me to be what I feared
Now, no longer do I cry
For you will fear me
Beg for mercy and scream for help
For I am the monster you have created with mouth for eyes
Source I'd rather you use your imagination, but I thought I'd share an example
I don't know if this counts as poetry? Or what would you call it? But I wrote it sort of with a nursery rhyme tune in my head
The story above is for the Daily 5 Minute Free Write challenge by @improv and @mariannewest. It's quite a fun challenge, especially when using a tool like THE MOST DANGEROUS WRITING APP which was introduced by @maverickfoo. The app forces you to continuously write for the set amount of time or everything you wrote will disappear after a few seconds! Try it out!
