Hello! I wrote this for an English assignment last semester, and I thought I could share it with you. It’s not good, I’m aware. Poetry is not my forte…! 😀 But still… I wrote it, and it’s related to my biggest fear: being alone. My classmates had some other interpretations…
Your heart is racing
Your muscles are tingling
But you just can’t run away
You’re paralyzed.
Your breaths are shallow
Your mouth is dry
No words can fall out of your mouth
You are just standing there
Your life is about to end
Yet your mind cannot work its way out
No last words
No one to hear them, anyway.
You’re alone
In the end of the world
Your biggest fear
Right in front of you.
Your time is almost done
There is no one left to hear you
So you just stay silent
Waiting for the nightmare to begin.
This isnt bad for a first try! Check out my work at sarahbakerwrites.wordpress.com 🙂 thanks!

I like the stereo effect of text coming at the reader from the left and the right. It makes it a bit more jarring, in line with the poetic subject matter.
It makes me think that although the subject is alone, there are two different ‘things’ with them, whispering this in the subjects ears.

I think it’s pretty good Nat. I feel like the scientist in you is peeking through in the prose a little bit. I also like the pace, it jumps along, which heightens the fear.

It’s true. The thing about writing is that some things about me just flow through my words 🙂
