Approaching The Lighthouse : A 5 Minutes Freewrite Poem
Source
The beacons shines, making me depressed.
My love waiting at the other side
This love is suicide.
...
...
The sea rages, I pray calm
Slowly draw me closer to thy shore
Death and shame await me
Nothing can heal my scar.
...
...
How I wish the beacon shine here
Dig through me, search me through
Maybe point me to where I should
Tears starts to flow.
...
...
Nothing, no soothing balm
No healing for me on this, bad
I asked other pilgrims, am down
It's a lie, I want an overdose.
...
...
Shame call me, I replied
Left this shore for a rich man
Used and dejected, carrying a bastard
I dropped my feet on the shore.
...

Ah, the beacon isn't much of a source of hope for this "used and dejected" young mother. What a hard-hitting and memorable poem!

I was deeply moved by this poem. Who knew that a beacon of light could bring so much sadness.
