[Poetry/Discussion] My Experiments

[Felicity]

So we're studying Poetry at my school now and I can't afford to dunk just because I've never gelled with this particular art form. So, if you can't beat them, join them. I write this without much consideration as to what techniques I use. This is just a selfish bit of venting adapted to have another purpose.

I am uncertain.

I hesitate. My nerves are alive with tension and anxiety.

You will take so much of me.

You are a burden,

you have driven better people than I to

terrific deaths beneath

your unrelenting weight.

I look around, searching for comfort.

I see those I care about.

How much will you take from them?

I seize up. I cannot move forward.

I struggle and flail and scream myself

raw and bloody.

I seek a way out.

I seek a way forward.

One step, two steps. I move

towards that end.

My heart stops fluttering.

You are a challenge.

You are taunting us all.

You think yourself immortal,

unbeatable, eternal.

I am small.

I am imperfect.

I will be victorious.

I will not stop moving forward.

You will fall.
