Messes
Write a poem about messes. I feel like this has been a theme in much of my writing lately and I am interested in seeing where you all take this prompt. I will review your entries after a week and reprose/comment the one that gets the most likes. This is just for fun and for creativity purposes. I enjoy the engagement. Happy writing! Can't wait to see your work.
My Mess
Technically, I was the one who started this,
I opened up,
Spilled my soul.
Others unhappy with my truth,
How it unearthed bad blood.
They had to face their flaws through my eyes.
But it left me alone and friendless.
As they all turned their backs on me one by one.
Wounded by my words,
Totally ostacized.
Unfriended on social media,
Considered toxic.
I hurt everyone beyond repair,
Though it was never my intention.
Once things were said,
Though I tried,
They wouldn't let me take them back.
My words,
My mess,
And I'm left with the wreckage.
