The Last Post Wins!!!!!

[strmblsd he/him]

Here it is.. I don't have a name for it

 

 

When i listen to music 

 

I think about life 

 

I think about hardship 

 

I think about strife

 

Laying in my bedroom

 

Silent in the night

 

Staring at my whitewashed walls 

 

Holding my subdued pillows tight

 

So tight that they might break like me

 

Hoping nobody walks in

 

Sees me crying uncontrollably 

 

Hiding under a burdensome blanket

 

Crushing like my hopes and dreams

 

And asks if somethings wrong 

 

Im ok, im ok, im ok, 

 

I tell myself everyday

 

But deep down in my chest 

 

My heart feels a shadowy grasp

 

At home at school at work at play

 

Sitting away from the group 

 

Always on the verge of tears

 

On my friends swing alone 

 

Going back and forth like all thoughts go

 

Hoping nobody sees the broken in me

 

But through it all and ever still

 

If my friends were drowning 

 

I would lift them up and out

 

Even if it required me going under

Really? You never made a haiku about the haiku structure? Haikus are so easy

you start with five sounds

the next line uses seven

and finally, five

there was a challenge among some of us TPLWers and TLTers to only speak in haiku when not in an RP thread. @NerdyAarakocra probably remembers. It was last christmas ish.

Haikus aren’t that hard

Just seventeen syllables 

contractions can help

I remember!! I also only sent haiku texts for like a month it was a whole thing

[Pineap-spider Pineapple/Spider]

while that sounds fun, and not to hard, being unable to articulate your thoughts past 17 syllables sounds like it would get old quick

[LightRinger he/him]

Honestly, that sounds

Pretty cool and fun, so I

Think we should try it.
