Poetry

Rubber Band

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You call me a rubber band, a

human bending at will. It’s the words

I’d say and how I’d say them. Reassuring,

as if I’ve witnessed the days ahead. And for

you, I pretend. Forever laced with temporary

stills. You used to call me a rubber band, a

human who bent your consciousness.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

  1. “. . a human bending at will” “a human who bent your consciousness” what that meant to you in writing it, and to those of us who receive it, who can know — to me, it is very close.
