Showing prompts for October 27th, 2024 until November 14th, 2024.
My feelings
#vsspoem prompt for November 14th, 2024: Sympathize
Safely shielded
Behind a mirror —
I sympathize.
I didn't like
What you showed me
Either.
When I tell you
#vsspoem prompt for November 13th, 2024: Insist
How it is,
That's no suggestion —
I'm afraid
I must insist.
Aware of who I am
#vsspoem prompt for November 12th, 2024: Unless
And what I'm not
Without illusions,
From this point on
No choice unless
I chose it —
It is just me
And I'm done playing.
This is how we're gonna do it.
Through hell and high water,
#vsspoem prompt for November 11th, 2024: Parallel
For years, side by side
We traveled life’s highway
Together —
It took your recent
Sudden exit to realize
We were only ever
Parallel.
Falling sensations,
#vsspoem prompt for November 10th, 2024: Separation
Not easier,
More distant —
The absence of reason
Once you have reached
The last degree of separation.
After years of trying,
#vsspoem prompt for November 9th, 2024: Corner
I found out happiness
Lived just around the corner,
But none of it was mine.
Can't look into your head,
#vsspoem prompt for November 9th, 2024: Straight
But can see straight into your heart,
And what I see isn't love —
It's short-term want.
Pain reshaped to melancholy,
#vsspoem prompt for November 8th, 2024: Reshape
Heartbreak drowned in melody —
Winds of change softly sing
You'll be alright,
Just keep up
And stay with me.
A people
#vsspoem prompt for November 7th, 2024: People
Raised on lies
Won't be bothered
By a couple more.
Until you found
#vsspoem prompt for November 6th, 2024: Pretend
Your legs, for years,
I carried you,
And then you ran away —
Don't pretend
You did not use me.
Waiting for the sun,
#vsspoem prompt for November 5th, 2024: Naught
Behind the clouds
Naught but blue.
Bleeding constants,
#vsspoem prompt for November 4th, 2024: Bleed
Lost our way —
Were it real
It would not ever
Change.
Warmer days
#vsspoem prompt for November 3rd, 2024: Sink
Post cold war —
Can you feel
The chill
Sink in again?
Out of bounds
#vsspoem prompt for November 2nd, 2024: Outlier
Within expectations,
Sliding scales of
Acceptable deviation —
Outliers became
The new normal, somehow.
Clashing fates,
#vsspoem prompt for November 1st, 2024: Righteous
To hate and be hated,
To hurt and be hurt,
To lose and get lost —
Costs be damned,
We’ll see this through
Our way.
Righteous or not.
Scream into the silence,
#vsspoem prompt for October 31st, 2024: Hardship
That the pain we drag behind us,
The hardship that defined us,
May never rise again.
Due diligence
#vsspoem prompt for October 30th, 2024: Diligence
Neglected —
Opinions, perspectives,
Cemented
In the absence of facts.
Diversity,
#vsspoem prompt for October 29th, 2024: Segregation
Our segregation,
Placing weight
On all we're not —
Celebrate all we share,
Not what sets us apart.
Consciousness, a fantasy
#vsspoem prompt for October 28th, 2024: Haze
Projected on the haze —
Illusions sent to navigate,
Aided to abide our days
Traveling
The mortal maze.
All ducks aligned,
#vsspoem prompt for October 27th, 2024: Align
All stories straight —
All of it mine,
None of it fate.
