Reaching

Not what I seem,

I'm just a superman scene.

Seems I'm flying forward,

but I'm getting pulled back

Kryptonite...every night,

It lights up the black.

Reflection without protection.

Can I see what I what I lack?

Eat me from the inside,

where no one will reach.

There was never a security to breach.

To whom or what should I beseech?

The toxins consume me ,

I wanted consumed.

Not like this!

Hand me a broom!

Cleaning fervently ,

Hopelessness blooms!

Too much for too little!

I'm strong yet brittle!

The debris covers me,

Yet I clearly see!

The one I'm reaching for...

It's me!

Character Flaw

I need some help. A character isn't round and developed without feeling human. And like all of us our characters should have flaws of their own. So write about your favorite character flaws, maybe the one you can relate to most, or one that always peaks your interest. Thanks in advance!

Poetry: Describe a Suffocating Love

Describe a love that is either good or bad, but make it well known that one of the two or both of the parties feel suffocating at some point, whether to each other or to the reader to the point of annoyance. Bonus points if you can make them a couple that stays together regardless, it just ups the ante.

Whisper

My heart screams in pain as it throbs,

The feeling unsilenced by my sobs.

My mind shouts thoughts of love,

Only to be drowned by fear , not enough.

My sould aches to bursting,

Am I the only one thirsting?

Can nobody feel me?

Can nobody see?

A seed without water,

Will nobody bother?

Living without,

Inside this drought.

My salty tears don't do,

I feel I'm screaming,

but it's just a whisper to you.

God?

This path I trod

God! God?

I'm nothing

My knees are dirty lord

What must I do?

Sodom and Gomorrah flow from my eyes

I dare not look, but feel demise.

Where for art thou, too cliche?

Mayday! Mayday!

How loud must I silently scream?

I need you to show me what u MEAN!

So confused, abused and incomprehensive

Just living to live

Can you not feel the brokenness?

It's to big !

Why can't I lie in the grave I dig?

What must I learn from the suffering you give?

God! God?

Challenge

Challenge of the Month XL

Above the body after death: Something all of us have heard or read about, or seen in documentaries or on film. Across human history, there has been one outlier that purely represents any given emotionally tied flashback that someone would have seen before dying: Good, bad, heartbreak, excitement, betrayal, or love that was not able to see itself through, and many more. Write a story or poem about this, the extreme outliers, both what they're flashing back to, and why they're about to die. Winning piece of ethereal lift and float gets the $100. Go.

Choking

I slash my soul to spill the ink I need to spill on paper.

My hand glides quickly,as my lungs inhale the vapors.

Coughing out the blackness,watch it spatter on the white.

The form of pictures in the words that haunt me in the night.

My fingertips clawing at blurry blue lined notes,

grasping as though it were the choking in my throat!
