@EmmaE

My name is Joyce

Today I feel like a balloon drifting aimlessly through a forest of cacti

Sometimes I am full, bursting with hopes and dreams

Sometimes I am deflated, lacking the energy to look outside

But always I am thinking, thinking, thinking

I ask the world, “What next?”

And the answer is a balloon drifting aimlessly through a forest of cacti

Today I feel like a waterlily floating through ripples

Sometimes I am a a sinking stone

Sometimes I am a weightless leaf 

But always I am floating 

I ask the world, “Why am I here?”

And the answer is, a waterlily floating through ripples

@EmmaE Thank you! This is interesting.

My name is Nik.

Today I feel like an abandoned mug floating in dirty water. 

Sometimes I am a neon sign.

Sometimes I am a rosebud doll.

But always I am nostalgic.

I ask the world, "Where is my rescuer?"

And the answer is an abandoned mug floating in dirty water. 


This is either profound or funny lol

My Poem (My conscience)


My name is Conscience 

Today I feel like a Saviour.

Sometimes I am a source of confusion 

Sometimes I am the best source of direction 

But always I am alive to guide

I ask the world, "which is more important to you now?"

And the answer is an option I had already suggested.

Meu poema 

E sou uma menina,de olhos tristes 

E coração em pedaços 

S uma pessoa que precisa de ajuda 

Ms a aonde que vou sempre atrapalho alguém 

Por isso desisti de tudo até mesmo de viver 😭😭

😭Eu as vezes tenho marcas em meu corpo 

Marcas que eu mesmo acabei fazendo por causa da dor 😔 

 E eu tô tentando lutar contra essa tempestade emocional mas as vezes ela está me vendendo 😔

My poem

My name is Cool heart

Sometimes I am an ugly cat

Sometimes, I'm just sad

But always, I am a lonely cat

I ask the world, why do you can't you accept this lonely cat?

And the answer is, you are an ugly cat

Obsolete

My name is unknown.

Today I feel like a broken clock still ticking on the wall.

Sometimes I am a lamp,

Sometimes I am a fan,

But always I am broken, beyond repair.

I ask the world, "Why is this pain always mine? Why may I never be whole again? Why may I never be repaired?"

I find the answer in a broken clock, perpetually ticking, still hanging in place on the wall..

My name is Cloudy

Today I feel like an incessant thought floating in the wind

Sometimes I am a cheerleader

Sometimes I am a nag

But always I am persistent.

I ask the world, "what if"

And the answer is an incessant thought floating in the wind.

Today I feel like a worm napping in the soil

Sometimes I am a poet

Sometimes I am a glutton

But always I am kind

I ask the world, why are people so cruel?

And the answer is a worm napping in the soil :)
