Happy National Poetry Month!
Like I've done in the past, I'll be following daily prompts.
Enjoy.
-
2. Write a poem about a superhero coming to your house and confronting you about something. Somewhere in the poem, you have to state what your superpower is.
It wasn't a gift or a blessing, it was a curse.
An unusable superpower, unhelpful and not useful.
Superman can save the world a thousand and one times.
Wonder Woman can make anyone tell the truth with the help of a magic lasso.
Batman saves the city in the darkness of the night.
But me? All I have is constant empathy.
I thought empathy would come in handy - the ability to replicate other's feelings?
That sounds like a savior for certain situations.
Instead, I'm left flailing and constantly uncertain of what I really feel.
So whenever she teleports over, my emotions dissolve and become one with hers.
Whenever she leaves, I fall in love all over again, and she'll never even know.
Like I've done in the past, I'll be following daily prompts.
