Is it okay to hold your breath to remind yourself you want to breathe?

megashipper in Poetry & Free Verse

It's odd

Swimming with people

They don't get that the only reason I get in the water is so that I can stay under

That all I want

Is to see spots in my vision

Because I have to hold my breath to feel how crisp the air on the surface is

Challenge
How do you write? What inspires you? Do you have to be alone? Do you write in the middle of the night? Are you an early bird? I want to know what the writing process is for you? Fascinate me by telling me how the words come to you! I know you have a story! We all do! Let's make it interesting and do it in a poem! Of course, that's just a preference, anything you're comfortable with. I just want to know your creative process. I will do one too! Don't forget to tag me! At least 50 words!

Write

When I write

It's generally night

No light in the room

But my phone screen or laptop

I shove myself back into April

When everything went wrong

When I learned of mistrust,

And that secrets don't stay for very long

I get angry

I cry

So I have to write alone

It starts with a few lines

A trickle

But in the end

It just flows together

Invisible Ink

My love doesn't love me. I thought he was letting on more than he said, but clearly my mind was against me. The worst part is, he knows, and it breaks him that he's unintentionally inflicting so much pain on me. I only told one person, since I'm bad at keeping things in, but apparently she was the wrong choice. She took my words in invisible ink and put a light to the letters to I wanted to ignore and showed it to all I knew, including him. My deepest secret had to do with matters of the heart, and so it was fate that it would break it too. I still act as if no one knows. It adds stability to my life, now shaken by the fact to he's trying to see if by avoiding me, he can hurt me less than he did when acting as if there was nothing between us, when in reality it's worse. I would still give him the world now, even though we haven't talked in two weeks. Hopefully this infatuation goes away soon. It must.

Anytime you write something, you go through so many phases. You go through the 'I'm a Fraud' phase. You go through the 'I'll Never Finish' phase. And every once in a while you think, 'What if I actually have created what I set out to create, and it's received as such?'

—Lin-Manuel Miranda

Challenge
This is a form of writing called a triptych. It consists of 3 syllables per line, 3 lines per stanza and 6 or 9 stanzas per poem. Any subject. Have fun with it. *******If you are looking at this challenge at this point, please also look at some notes I published this morning under the title Triptych Challengers...it has some additional information I'd want you to be aware of. Thanks.*******

And You Never Will

Love, what do

You do now

I miss you

What would have

Come of us

If you stayed

If you were

Here with me

Together

You are my

Everything

Even now

But that one

Dreadful day

You had news

"I'm moving

All the way

To LA."

Your smile shone

Your eyes glowed

My heart fell

How could this

Happen to me

I love you

Now you're gone

My heart aches

You don't know

"Of course he loves you."

Say that to my broken heart.

You wanted me broken.
