Random- everything

This is dedicated to my best friend, Eve
We are switching facebook profiles right now so it might be confusing for anyone who doesn't know us. Sorry had to mention!
We've been through it all but we won't fall!


I want emotion- I want metaphor and imagery. Seriously if there isn't at least one metaphor you won't win. It can be free verse but it has to be powerful and worded well
IF its rhyme it can't be forced and has be well written.
I want waterfalls- water- anything with the elements
I want the power of love- not romantic
I want friendship- what real friendship means- how it is showed- true colors of loyalty
Write about Best friends being just amazingly close- my best friend is amazing and she and I are forever!
I want a poem about a cause standing for something that means something- I want more than just one side of the story

Will add more later- if you want a prompt im me

Use any of these either in the poem or as inspiration
Option one

Racing out of this world into freedom , her heart pounded with destiny.
2. Moving to the drumbeat of her dreams, she twirled and twisted dancing to the beat of her heart.
3. Love isn't a word- love is when you cry to see them hurting-love is when you'd die for them to keep them safe.
4. Being strong enough to let go means holding harder than you ever have to the things that keep you grounded.
5. Fires illuminated the night- calling to the stars to shine with their brothers and sisters in flaming beauty.
6. Hoof prints marked the earth long before I could walk, and they will continue to speak for the land past the end of my time.
7. Cantering into the future before anyone could stop her , Sorra was free.
8. Waves churned onto the shore creating a wake of white water to be ridden by wooden boards carrying adrenaline driven riders who longed to be a part of the never ending sea.
9. Crouched over her board trying to find her balance among the chaos of foam barrelling onward, she soared and learned to fly.
10. Flickers of heat set the night on fire , its flames leaping and jumping into a cloudy sky the absence of the fire cast the places just out of its reach in sorrow.


Or take from these lyrics
Hey we're just bleeding for nothing
It's hard to breathe
When you're standing on your own
We'll kill ourself to find freedom
You'll kill yourself to find anything

Hey now, by Agustana
