Bacon Says...NaPoWriMo

So as you should know April is National Poetry Month. During this month a lot of poets will write one new poem each day to celebrate. I've always admired poets who could really sit down and write a full length EVERY DAY! Never thought I could complete the task but so far I've been keeping up pretty well! Luckily Julia reminded me because it had been on my mind but of course when April came it slipped my mind. For the frst five days I was really in a slump because I had no clue what to write about! I couldn't think of anything until I gave in a wrote Haikus for those five days. On the sixth day I foujnd some inspiration in talking to my parents and on the 7th day I used the writing assignment from class. And since then I've been finding enough motivation to crank out some pretty okay poems in my opinion. I've gotten some pretty good feedbackand this had truly been a good outlet because at the end of the day it feels nice to just sit down and let out my biggest frustration or just something small that's bothering me. I've been trying to write a "Love" poem to dedicate to one of my friends...hard though! So anyway here's my poem from day seven, which was the writing assignment from in class...

Origin of Hate…


Because I love you that much…
And when everything in the world is going wrong I can run to you
My safe haven
I need nothing more than your arms to hold me
When rivers are carving caters into my cheeks because life just isnt fair
And you make me smile
The sun rises in your eyes and dries
Everything is dry now
And im fine now

Because I love you that much…
No one else matter and I schedule my time around you
Because you make me feel important
And I cant think of a better feeling than to be wanted
No judgment…I can be myself
No worries about what tomorrow holds as long as you're there

Because I love you that much…
I put you on a pedestal
I made God jealous because I worshipped you
And you knew that…
Your ego shot up and pretty soon judgment fell from your lips like the water falling from the sky
The storm comes
And now im left alone and judged

Hate…that’s what I felt
No words to really describe it because it hadnt existed until this moment
and I cried again…and things were bad again
The sun stop rising because you never opened your eyes to see how you hurt me
You didn’t want to
So now im facing darkness with the rest of the world
And I'm the only one who knows why
And that’s the problem
There's no one else to run to

Hate spoken into existence
Never before used to described such a beautiful thing
But now….now beauty has no name
And the night is the only thing that falls upon our arrival
Rivers have found their way back to the craters where they once dwelt
On my cheeks…running down my face dripping onto the left side of my chest
Heart beats irregular…because hate is in my heart now
It has a name now…
Spoken into existence
