Artists often throw down dtiyos challenges, so why not wtiyos? Write This In Your Own Style. Choose between my wordy "echoes," my poem "Spellbound," or my confusing mess "a conversation." Then edit it in a way that makes it feel more like your own writing. Complete overhaul or simple changes, it's up to you. Don't forget to tag @wabisabi
An echo of echoes*
our lies
are like shields
protecting us from the truth
that our hearts
are now too far apart
to beat in sync
every day
i wake up
unable to breathe
without you near me
i long to search for you
but i am trapped in a cage
and i have lost the only key
alone in the dark
my fingers
scramble for a flashlight
hoping the beam
will be a guide
so that you will come
and find me
again
*inspired by the original poem ‘echoes’ by wabisabi
