Free write-- 1st writing prompt experiment December 22, 2020

-

 The writing prompt I am writing is based on a creative website I  found while looking on google for ideas. There are a million ideas out there, but sometimes having so much stuff out there can become overwhelming for your mind and creative wheels. 

The following is what I chose for today:

Write a poem about someone who you love but doesn't love you back.

I look into your eyes with love and gratitude

Because you changed my life for the better

Took my negative thoughts 

Transforming them into more positive ones

Yet you don't return the favor when you

Look into my eyes

You see friendship and caring 

But that is as far as that 

Will go

I have tried with all of my might to express 

My love

But knowing you don't feel the same

Leaves my soul empty

And my stomach feeling

Knotted with dread

I do not know what I did

For you to deny my love

But I guess you cannot 

Change someone's attractions

No matter how strongly you may

Feel about it

I have tried to get my mind to block the memories

We might have together if only you felt the same

But it just won't let go

I have cried more tears

Than you will ever know


A sad one, I know, but I felt like this is something I could write easily on a whim. I will be back tomorrow with a happier one or maybe even a short story.

Gymnastics... The sport that lives in my heart...

I remember the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 like they happened yesterday. I remember being a young naive little 12 year old glued to the TV as the women's USA gymnastics team went on to become the first team in history to win a gold medal in gymnastics. I remember the feeling I felt when watching these women (who at the time were teenagers), flip through the air so seamlessly. I was AMAZED and since then, I have never looked back and have never once denied my profound love for the sport. In the months following the Olympic games, I 'pretended' to be a gymnast like the magnificent seven. I would do a head roll from my sister's bed using the my trundle bed down below hers as support and 'flip off' the bed landing on my butt of course because I couldn't stand. I also pretended to do leaps and jumps on my sister's bed like it was the beam. In short, I was totally and completely head over heels. Soon, there was a collection of magnificent seven books, Dominique M

Speaking from the Belly of The Beast: A depression letter.

    Dear Depression,   I wake up in the morning feeling overtired and stiff as a board, and the day has barely begun. I touch my face, and I feel the wetness of the tears that have blurred my once perfect vision. There were so many thoughts swimming through my mind. So many in fact, that it is almost impossible to differentiate between fact and fiction. You have been making deals with the devil so often that I begin to believe exactly what he has fed into my already disease-ridden mind.   Every step I take towards normalcy and betterment is a hit to your heart. I know you do not want to see me even begin to become slightly better. You cannot survive without sucking every inch of air from my lungs. You cannot survive without the berating thoughts teeming through every pour and leaking from every vein. Your end goal is sick and twisted, yet I understand it with a perfect and keen eye.   You have ravaged me so completely and so deeply that I now can see your motive with clear eyes and
