Free Verse Poem

By Ocean MyrandaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Got my plans for the day

Just got to get up and get moving

Let's get moving, come on legs

Okay, let's start smaller, pull the sheets off

Come on, we can do this, move arm

No, okay, let's sleep for 30 more minutes, maybe that will help

Okay, we feel a bit more refreshed, what time is it

Are you kidding me?! We slept for 2 hours!

What is wrong with me? Get up!

Good, now let's try to get some of these things done

No, don't really want to do that

Definitely don't want to do this either

Fine, let's at least eat something

Don't want what's in the house because you don't want to cook

We don't really have the money for this, but let's order out

Let's be productive while we wait on the food

Or.... we can play on our phone instead, I guess

You know, you really need to start doing stuff

Covering your ears won't make me stop

You're useless, pathetic, worthless, waste of space

It's obvious why he left you

It's obvious why no one will ever stay

If you had done what you planned, I wouldn't be talking

You fed my fire, this is what you get

For the love of God, shut up!

Please stop, I can't take it anymore

I can't deal with your words

For something that doesn't exist outside my mind

You have a lot to fucking say

Well of course, we know how we really are

You think yelling at me will make me go away

That's adorable.... Wait, what are you doing

If you do that, you'll end us both

You don't have the guts

Yes, I do. I will silence you forever

At any cost....
