PS before reading: I hope you don’t mind doctor, but I actually shared 2 poems. I generally
write poetry so I thought I’d share 2 of my poems with you for this assignment and I hope you
like them!

Detachment

Night crept into my soul;

I never wanted to grow old.

Why do you ought to be so cold?

Why must you make this thing mold?

Clinging onto us,

It never seemed to let us go.

But you gave up on us,

And you took your hands off of that rope.

Time fooled us,

I thought we’d make it old;

Or you’ve betrayed us,

You promised to meet me near that shore.

Water veiled me,

I’m all out of words.

You betrayed me,

You never stuck to your words.

Hurt

Crushed after being ascertained,

Take me off of this windowpane.

Run along or go insane;

Drive your car or stay home all day.

“It seems like drought but lights will bring up all of the rain;

Rainy clouds washing up all of the pain”

But I still doubt, my hurt to me is so arcane.

Will roses blossom within our vanes eventually, Jane?

You always set me up for things that great.

I’m yet to see the sun shine through the root of my brain,

It’s yet to rain,

I’m yet to wash up my pain,

Yet to leave this windowpane;

I think I might be going insane,

Will I get to run off of this scene one day, Jane?
