Poetry: Describe a Desperate Love
Describe a moment in which love felt uncertain, suffocating and so dire that it brought you or the character to a panic.

AnnaHeiress in Poetry & Free Verse

I feel a love so strong, so pure,

But it's suffocating, I'm not sure,

If it's worth the pain, the constant fight,

Or if it's time to bid goodbye tonight.

I'm drowning in a sea of doubt,

I'm gasping for air, can't get out,

The love that once set me free,

Now feels like a cage, I can't flee.

I try to leave, but I can't go,

I'm trapped in a love that won't let go,

It's like quicksand, the harder I try,

The deeper I sink, and the more I cry.

I'm lost in a maze of emotions,

The uncertainty, the commotions,

I don't know what to do, or where to turn,

The desperate love, it makes me burn.

My heart is racing, my palms are sweaty,

I'm scared, I'm nervous, I'm not ready,

To face the truth, to let it go,

To break the chains, and finally grow.

But as I stand here, in this dark place,

I know that I can't hide my face,

I must face the truth, and take a chance,

To break the cycle, and start a new dance.

So I take a deep breath, and let it out,

I whisper a prayer, and scream a shout,

I'm ready now, to face the pain,

To leave the desperate love, and break the chain.

All is Well

Peter sat at the table with Jesus and the other disciples, feeling a sense of unease wash over him. He had always been a loyal follower of his teacher, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding as Jesus spoke of his impending death.

As they ate the Passover meal together, Peter listened intently to Jesus' words, trying to make sense of the cryptic messages he was conveying. He couldn't bear the thought of losing his beloved teacher, but he also couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

After dinner, they went to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. Peter struggled to stay awake, his mind racing with worries and fears. He knew that Jesus had been betrayed by one of their own, and he couldn't shake the feeling that they were all in danger.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared, led by none other than Judas Iscariot. Peter watched in horror as they arrested Jesus and dragged him away, leaving the disciples scattered and afraid.

For the next few days, Peter was consumed by guilt and despair. He had denied Jesus three times, even after swearing to be his loyal disciple until the end. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had failed his teacher and his faith.

But then, on the third day, everything changed. Mary Magdalene came to the disciples with news that Jesus had risen from the dead. Peter couldn't believe it at first, but as he ran to the tomb and saw the empty grave clothes, he felt a sense of hope ignite within him.

Over the next few weeks, Peter and the other disciples encountered the risen Christ multiple times, and Peter's faith was renewed. He knew that Jesus' death and resurrection had been the ultimate sacrifice, one that had redeemed him and all of humanity.

As he reflected on those tumultuous days, Peter felt a sense of gratitude for the love and forgiveness that Jesus had shown him. He had been given a second chance, and he was determined to use it to spread the message of Christ's love and salvation to the world.

Her

I saw her today

The woman who caught your attention yey!

I saw her today, her eyes on mine.

I was smiling and have tp pretend I don't recognize her.

She recognized me.

It feels uneasy to sit in front of her.

I was being paranoid and hurt at the same time.

This doesn't make sense

But I saw her

What do I know of Holy?

I made You promises a thousand times

I tried to hear from Heaven

But I talked the whole time

I think I made You too small

I never feared You at all No

If You touched my face would I know You?

Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

So What do I know of You

Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood

But the shore along Your ocean?

Are You fire? Are You fury?

Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?

So What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I am scared

Scared of the things I'm feeling for you

Not because I love you

It's just different

I don't feel the same anymore.

Talk someone out of suicide
What would you tell your child, friend, family member, etc if they came to you saying they were suicidal? Some people don't have anyone to turn to so let's give them a place for some hope. One rule: No negativity. Suicide isn't a joke and it's not something to be ashamed of or made fun of.

Your choice

Pain is temporary

Death is eternal 

Pain shall come to pass 

But death will never end

So is your pain when you're 

Swimming in the burning sulfur

So choose wisely

Otherwise

Please don't remember this. 

No 

I think you should remember this. 

There are things I want to say 

Every time I am with you I may

But no 

I should not 

You are their angel in disguise

You know not how to say no 

And that, that was your demise 

Because of that your true color they'd never know. 

You 

You are full of secrets and lies

While the others

Theirs are your weapon

Yeah

You are two faced snake 

Hiding behind your innocent face 

Your sweet smiles 

I?

I look like a beast to anyone who doesn't want me.  

Why would they hate me 

For being real

Oh yeah there's you 

You live in lies 

You try everyone to believe you

you convince everyone even your self 

Tell you what. Your actions, 

Your body language tells me otherwise

Him

I saw him today

From a distance I knew it was him 

Nothing's changed

After all these months of not seeing him

It's the way he carry himself 

The way he walk 

The way he brushes his hair from his face

They way the wind blows his hair 

Makes me want to be the wind

I saw him today 

His eyes held mine for a sec 

His blue eyes that I can't tired of staring at 

His eyes tell it all 

Nothing's changed after all this time

I saw it in his eyes the thing I want to hear from him

"see you later I love you"

Anna

It's the way you say it 

That makes me not to hate

It's the way you whisper it 

Like a prayer and answer to your prayer whenever you're next to me

The way my name is called however you do 

Is the reason I loved my name.
