Ellie Sutton

A dropp in the ocean,
It disturbs the motion
Of the world, that spins in time to the sound
Of nature’s intention,
...

What is love? Is it a statement? No.
A form to be contained inside one's soul
And sheltered from the world, forced to fly solo?
No. Love contains your soul, love makes you whole.
...

2000
Time to make a change.
No more detours, deliberation, distractions,
Excuses won’t excuse you now.
...

When the sun peeps through the curtains
And the kids come out to play,
You'll find me in my bedroom
So the monster stays away.
...

I'd like to give a little explanation before submitting this poem.
For the 18 months I've been battling with anorexia. I wrote the first verse whilst in the thick of it, and the second 6 months later, beginning to come out of the other end.
I'd appriciate feedback :)
...

Are the sands of time
So cruel? How they cause
Us to forget times that mean
More than should ever be forgotten.
...

Dear Grandad, this hurdle's the last,
A curtain call for all that's passed,
Despite this shroud,
You've done us proud,
...

Since when was writing poetry
Reserved for a minority
Or given rules set out in stone
Which stifle wit
...

Realisation number one;

I don't know my own future,
And time's erased my past,
...
