This is a poem I wrote for my English class. This piece was modeled by another poem called "Peel Away the Onion." It in no way makes reference to any experience of my life or other people's. It was inspired either by a movie or a dream (most likely a nightmare).
Eat Away the Strawberry
Eat away the strawberry
The tart smell of
Lust, passion, desire
Setting aside the remains
Eat away the strawberry
Betrayal, the infatuation, the bathroom stall
Thoughts of total regret
Eat away the strawberry
The breakup, harsh words
Lies, three years
Time is offered,
I open my heart
Eat away the strawberry
Accepted, understood
Optimistic, rearranged
Stopping the routine
That hurt me
Eat away the strawberry
Therapeutic, meditation,
my body, spirit
Mercy was given
My life is now in line
