🌿 The Unwritten Truth 🌿 There are things we carry that never make it to the page… until now. Today’s challenge is simple—but it hits deep: Write the truth you almost didn’t share. The line you hesitated to say. The feeling you buried. The moment that still lingers in your chest. No filters. No overthinking. Just honesty in its rawest form. Your prompt: 👉 “I almost didn’t say this, but…” Finish the line. Let it unravel into whatever it needs to become— a poem, a fragment, a confession, a storm. 🔥 Bonus Twist (optional): Write it in 10 lines or less because truth doesn’t need to be long to be powerful. Drop your piece below and take a moment to read someone else’s. Because poetry isn’t just about being heard— it’s about listening, too. Let’s make today unforgettable

Curl up in the grass Quietly lay in wait Looking for your next Victim to slither to Too fast to tromp But my heel fights Stomp but miss Snakes are below Can’t even stand No backbone, surprise Finding methods for Your untimely demise Slither on the hot pavement Maybe the heat will get you If not maybe the car Will crush you, history CDK 4-17-2026

Thick yes thick measured like glass No one knew the ache from the class Whispers about my weight, can’t ignore Making fun of my clothes, glasses, & more Wanted to run out the door and disappear No more of their cruelty did I want to hear I’d go home asked how was school I’d lie Pretending it was fine, inside I wanted to die For years I was their object of laughter Then I matured grew taller, and after They chose another target I guess, not it By then it didn’t matter no longer a misfit A word of friendly advice who feel this It won’t always be so just smile & blow a kiss!
