Prompt:\u00a0<\/strong>Write a poem or short story by what you can’t see.<\/p>\n

I can’t see..<\/p>\n

\n
what they see<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
sometimes I question,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
if I’ll ever be the\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
same as them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They see the light.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They see the end of the tunnel while<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I see the ocean<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and endless pit of darkness<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They see the world as their home,\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
their realm.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I see it as another place<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’m forced to call home.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The world I <\/span>was sent<\/span><\/span> to,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
never being able to return to\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
my own version of home.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The monsters and ghosts<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
that haunt me will<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
drive them to the<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
brink of their sanity.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
My ocean would\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
drown them,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
pulling them into the<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
endless thoughts of it’s…<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can’t see the brightness of\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can’t see the good in\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
anything.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Why make friends<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
if you’re going to use them to\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
your advantage?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To break them,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
to shake them into\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
ground,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
to destroy them from\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You might as well try to<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
break them<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
before they break you<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
first.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can’t see it.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Blinded by my emotions,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can’t blend in<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
like the rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can’t see the purity and<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
good in anything.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
All I see are scars and broken halves…<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
coming to get what they lost.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I wish I could see again.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
