Painful Subjects and Relief

Prompt: Dostoevsky wrote his best work after facing a firing squad. Has an event in your life made you write more dramatically than before? You don’t have to talk about the event if you don’t want to, but try to put into words the feelings and the inspiration you got from such an event. If you wish, you may express that feeling in a prose-poem, poem, or story.


Yeah. A few. I already wrote about it on here, so here we go.

The tears flowed through her like a river.
The agony cut through her like a sharp knife through paper.
Hopelessness swirled in her heart like an ocean during a hurricane.
Her mind numb, but emotions raging like a fierce thunderstorm.
Thoughts so violent, her mind became a war zone.
Eager to end the pain, or rip it from her very being.
Words at the universe so bitter, it made the most bitter substance seem sweet.
Feeling insane and dead inside, while everyone else was laughing and having fun.
Anxious and hateful at her predicament.
and her heart aching to see her family again.
Her only wish...to rid herself of her mental anguish.


This was so hard to write, but to get my feelings out in a different feels good.
