These are four separate poems that were inspired by a prompt in a poetry workshop. You can also try it. Write about the things you really want to say.

What I really want to say is that

I don’t want to meet you again

Because it took me 10,000 hours in therapy

To get over the one night I spent with you after a year long curfew.

/

What I really want to say is that

I don’t want to be friends with you anymore

Because you are toxicAnd I don’t want to be your muse.

/

What I really want to say is that

You doubt the accuracy of my brushstrokes

Because you are looking for accuracy

And I solely depict truth and honesty.

/

What I really want to say is that

If I am me and you will always be you

How can we ever become we.

-Armaan
