In this post, I decided to share some poetry that I have written. I wrote this for a creative writing class I took earlier this year and added it as part of my portfolio. It is a type of poem called a "villanelle". Let me tell you-it was not an easy type to write. If you look up to see how they're written, you'll see what I mean. However, I love how this one turned out, and I think it's one of the better poems that I have written. And yes, there is a meaning to it. It should be interesting to see if anyone can pinpoint what it's talking about!
~Repression~
The needed
stay in, the useless come out.
The needed
are afraid, pushed back by pin
Never to
come forth, and never to shout.
In their
hearts is a constant doubt
Not wanting
to shift another, they sin
The needed
stay in, the useless come out.
They always
go the same route,
Knowing of
nothing else, they keep themselves in
Never to
come forth, and never to shout.
Every day
within is a constant bout
With
themselves they fight again and again
The needed
stay in, the useless come out.
So often, they
face a constant rout
They can
never seem to win.
Never to
come forth, and never to shout.
Filled to
the brim with fear, they walk about
The needed
stay in, the useless come out.
Never to come forth, and never to shout.
