Stuff Written During the Summer

I came across this assignment from my summer Creative Writing class which was to where we had to write ten poems early last week. Figured I'd post some of them.

-1-

It's incredible

Everybody says they're right

Nobody says they're wrong

Good and bad

It's really subjective

But they collectively ignore that

Believing in their moral superiority

To other cultures

Is that right?

Is that wrong?

It's really subjective

To individual perspectives

-2-

Hands up

I surrender

I can no longer fight

It's clear

That you don't care

You've made up your mind

But don't forget

That I'll always be here

If you ever change your mind

-3-

Everyday

Is an add on

To the obstacle course

There are new challenges

To be dealt with

And old obstacles

To navigate again

Being stalled by obstacles

Every now and then

Is inevitable

Enduring the challenges

Keeps you going

Keeps you growing

-4- (my favorite of the bunch)

Shadows of the past

Seem to linger and last

The meaning of them elusive

Feelings on them inconclusive

In and out they go

As they randomly flow

Through ones train of thought

Occasionally being caught

Internal battles rage

As memories enter the cage

The meaning of them elusive

Feelings on them inconclusive

Shadows of the past

Seem to linger and last
