So when I was writing the post about abusive relationships, it gave me another idea for another class. I am in 6th hour creative writing and we are working on poems. We were told to make a unit piece for Iambic meter and my poem was based upon an abusive relationship. Here it goes.
I stare at the ceiling from my cozy bed,
Trying to get these thoughts out of my head.
Running fast then slow like a broken movie tape,
Tell me why I feel I need to escape.
Out of this world I need to be led.
I pull the blankets up over my swollen face.
How could I let this happen, I'm such a disgrace.
We were perfectly fine, joking around like a normal couple.
Then all of a sudden my vision began to double.
The blood in my mouth I could taste.
I push you away but you still swing those hands.
I start to bed as I lose count of the lands.
Next thing I know I'm laying on the cold floor.
Someone stands over me saying "that's enough man, no more".
How grateful I am of that persons demands.
I pull the blankets down and wipe away the tears.
This is what I get after all of the years?
You know, it's okay though, I'll be fine by myself.
I can't think of you but rather my own health.
So goodbye love and my worst fears.
This isn't a true situation, it just came to mind as I began to write. A lot of people told me it was really good but what do you think? Does it run smoothly? Go with the abusive relationship well?
