I Refuse To Move Anymore


The sudden screaming sleep stopper stunned my sleeping soul awake. The sky had its clouded cloak; the air felt frigid and deathly dormant. My muscles ached at the thought of moving and I winced as my muscles stretched. My eyes felt fleshy and rejected release, as I impulsively upheld my body up. "I refuse to move anymore," I thought as my muddled mind grasped reality, "But you must!" my mind argued. I rise, my eyes still sealed, walking to the gateway, as I brutally banged my big toe. I yelped making me want to scream, sob and begin to blatantly blaspheme. Especially, seeing that my sorrow will echo every morning for many, many years.

This is an Old English poem I had to write for my English Literature class. However, I really liked what I came up with. I also got great criticism from my advisor when I shared this poem at a recent Creative Writing club meeting. I submitted this poem and is in the process of being published in my school's magazine. I hope you enjoy my poem.
