Freeform Poetry Exercise (5min)

Posted on Jun 12th, 2008 by Eric : Poet/Author/Entreprenuer Eric

negativity surrounds

rushes to low ground

like water searching

for the most minute crack

in our shells


only our energy can shield us


once in it multiplies like a virus

left unchecked it can wreck a life

with its many trysts and turns

it will shrivel your heart,

turn you cold before your time

to the light, you'll be blind


and find yourself ostracized.

separated from all but it,

negativity.


you will still remember when

it was reviled like bitter poison

instead of embraced like a lover's kiss

you alone have the power

to break yourself free from this false bliss
