Let em Flow Poetry Prompt

Not a competition, an activity. The Prompt of each poem will be what each person has said about his emotions.

This is in response to Craig's vent and let them flow thread, I thought it would be nice to show a different kind of support. Investing our emotions by writing and dedicating poems for each other! SO..the title of each poem will be the name of the person you'd like to write for. Writing a hopeful, supportive and an advice-like poem for anyone you choose. No rules.

Feel free to choose more names; or the name of anyone who vents next on the other thread. I'll write the names of those who shared their feelings already. Endless entries ofcourse, the thread is open till no one vents or writes anymore ^__^

Andrea - Acrostic

And I know that walls suddenly fall and collapse.
No one knows how it feels to hide from the curls of
dimness to hunt for life. I know you're trying to grant
Robin the strength you lack, to win this solid fight.
Eager & tired- you both still rise the next day. You have
each-other & thus still find the way. She has you & you have us.

<3 We understand and we are here. We love you, Robin and Jim <3

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh be still my heart, we love you Nana

Mental illness
Revisits old wounds
.
Day in and out you
Awkwardly stumble
Remembering to refresh the soul
Coupled with loving compassion; because
You are the loving house, holding the family together.

Believe in your true soul
Evolve within your surroundings and
Never give up my friend.

When it feels life
burdens you again
rethink things
take a step back
know you're worth

Ben

Every day seems worse than the day before
'til one day you wake up and realize
this day, today, i do not feel as sore
perhaps I will even try for the prize.

hugs you

Em

you wake and sleep
next to doubt, memories
tagging along and trying
to trip you,

but still, your heart stands.

even though the hurt and pain
call again and you wonder if
feelings of security are real,
to be trusted,
you deserve somewhere to
call home, someone to fall into.

you are worthy of it all -
of every loving embrace, every
promise of hope and warmth,
every safe haven
because your worth can never
measured by a man who
claimed you as anything
other than a treasure.

we are more than our broken
pieces, our haunting past
and it's okay to let ourselves
be loved again,
for love comes from within
and it will find its way
through even the darkest of nights.

Darren

Driving up to another crossroads.
Always choices to be made, left ones,
Right one and onwards ever fowards...
Reverse is useful too; it will
Enable reflection to gain much
Needed perspective for the next roadtrip.

Ben

I hear his poor heart break as blackbird sings,
As I read ev'ry line of crimson ink.
If beauty can be born of ashen wings,
The faith of human kind will never sink.

Jamie

Jumping on Jupiter will
Always be difficult.
Make peace with gravity,
It will help shrink it
Earth size, then let your child free...

Em

Each morning she awoke
Wanting this day, another day
to be the one.

And in many ways, it was.

Days of long before had burdened her with:

- shouty voices
- stinging slaps
- purple bruises
- restless naps

Love was always out of reach.
playing a cruel, hide and seek.

Men they come in different sizes
Brutish and cute-ish with
Different disguises.

- a hat
- a cap
- a beard
- a mac

Why did they go and not come back?

But now, this day the sun and moon
Shine down on, Em
Her prayer comes soon.

Hear those hooves
Clip clop on yonder
Hark, she says
Who's that, I wonder...

Glinting in the morning sun
A silhouette of radiant light
Her heart knows and so it runs
Towards her love, her gallant knight.

Now every day come rain or shine
Em's heart is whole
On love it dines.

Chewing on his Yorkie bar
Really made his day
As along the M6, he refines
Inspiration for another
Gem of creative writing..
