Hi : - ) Thanks for landing on Midlife Soup.
I write anything from poems to short stories.
→ You should also read from my archived selection of “A 10 Word Story” series.
I also did a collab post with the amazing
last week 👀 You can read that here.
A 10 Word Story
(inspired by Hulu’s “Under the Bridge” series.) =>
“Acceptance from others isn’t worth the cost of your life.”
Onto this weeks Poem →
By the River
I want to seize the day.
Perhaps, to wield it, exhaust it.
Yet the rain still ricochets off my old shed,
and the waves crash over me,
mocking my urge to command the sky.
I look up in search of hope,
But the night hunts me down like a shadow.
I don’t feel its comfort at all.
Here are some more poems/stories from Midlife Soup!
Thanks Jamal! :)
The whole poem was on point but these lines set it off! 👏🏽
