Novpad

Well I will be putting up a lot more post because I will be partipating in the "novpad" challenge. So i will be doing a prompt a day. Today's prompt was

• Write a procrastination poem, or as I like to call it a “I’ll get to it tomorrow” poem. Or…
• Write a proactive poem, or the old “I’ll get to it today” poem.

I choose to do the "Proactive Poem" Hopefully these prompts and this challenge will help me get back into the groove of writing everyday. Since I havn't beeen writing everyday I feel as though my body has changed it's strange really.....anyway here is the poem

Try

I try to take deep breathes

As I enter the unknown world

I try to break myself free of the chains

That wrap themselves around my throat

As I meet new people.

I try to hold on to the edge of the cliff

But I need to do more than that

I need to DO

It’s easier said than done.

I push myself but it’s though

The knife I placed between my heart and myself

Is digging itself deeper

I try to be a new person

Try to show that I can talk for myself

But there are pounds of self-esteem

That load themselves around my back

I’ll get it done it done I say to myself

But it seems that every time I get close

To this “Holy Grail” it disappears

And I am off trailing somewhere in the woods again
