We hate
#vsspoem prompt for August 27th, 2024: Hurt
What we fear,
But why fear
What can't hurt us?
We hurt
What we hate,
And this circle
Consumes us.
Distract the masses
#vsspoem prompt for August 26th, 2024: Solve
With a problem
They will never solve —
Eyes on the fictional prize,
And off the ball.
Lost,
#vsspoem prompt for August 25th, 2024: Wane
But not
By choice —
Come find me
Where you effort
Waned.
Once more, from the top.
#vsspoem prompt for August 24th, 2024: Motivation
A touch less reason,
More dramatic.
Motivation?
You're not fucking okay.
Raise your dream
#vsspoem prompt for August 23rd, 2024: Sail
To catch the sky —
Then sail the impossible.
Times ain't changing,
#vsspoem prompt for August 22nd, 2024: Steer
Minds are changing.
Shifting currents of
Popularized thought —
But who is doing
The steering?
I’d crumble
#vsspoem prompt for August 21st, 2024: Crumble
Like my feelings,
But we play our parts
Too well.
Even together,
#vsspoem prompt for August 20th, 2024: Symbol
Lonely with you.
Painting the wall
With emotions un-shareable —
Pictures of happiness,
Symbols of love —
Wearing the mask
Until tears overflow
And our last
Pillar
Falls.
We need these little
#vsspoem prompt for August 19th, 2024: Capable
Reminders of decency,
These small signs that humanity
Is still capable
Of kindness.
Little fissures, disregarded,
#vsspoem prompt for August 18th, 2024: Fissure
Parallel the cracks of time —
Windows into years consumed,
Filled with hopes
That never got
A chance to shine.
Stir my sands
#vsspoem prompt for August 17th, 2024: Unburden
To mask my tracks,
Shield me from
My biggest failures.
Help me see
The road ahead,
Unburdened by
The bloody paths
I've taken.
Stir my waters
#vsspoem prompt for August 16th, 2024: Lullaby
With your tides,
Bring me flow
Where joy keeps ebbing.
Nurture, comfort, lullaby
The parts of me
I keep forgetting.
Stir my leaves,
#vsspoem prompt for August 15th, 2024: Verdant
My verdant ceiling,
Soothe my temper
In your breeze,
Shield me from
A world too bright
With silent songs
From shadows deep.
Between
#vsspoem prompt for August 14th, 2024: Between
The land,
The sea,
The sky,
A path
Is lit
For you
To follow.
Like the stars,
#vsspoem prompt for August 13th, 2024: Apart
We may be
Drifting apart,
But your light
Still reaches me.
The coolest nor the cutest,
#vsspoem prompt for August 12th, 2024: Shallow
The model nor the whore —
Shallow will not
Win you my
Attention or affection.
Be yourself, nothing more.
Beauty is true connection.
Unheard —
#vsspoem prompt for August 11th, 2024: Immense
Cry in silence,
Waves of tears
Too immense
To go unfelt.
Questions of morality,
#vsspoem prompt for August 10th, 2024: Morality
The ache unseen
By all but me.
The rot in my foundations,
The doubt in my beliefs —
Chaining me,
Free of will,
Bound by heart,
To what I cannot change.
Overheated sentiments
#vsspoem prompt for August 9th, 2024: Issue
On coloured TV —
Two dimensionalized issues
Where both sides
Feel they're right.
This is how wars start.
