Challenge
Messes
Write a poem about messes. I feel like this has been a theme in much of my writing lately and I am interested in seeing where you all take this prompt. I will review your entries after a week and reprose/comment the one that gets the most likes. This is just for fun and for creativity purposes. I enjoy the engagement. Happy writing! Can't wait to see your work.

Tumbleweed
Somewhere
along the way
she lost herself,
drowned in despair,
and tangled
in a thorny mess,
depression’s twisted lair,
she withered
in the scorching sun,
uprooted by the winds —
tumbled,
in a heap,
undone;
a shell,
without,
within.
