Poetry

Turned

Written by Jacob Ibrag

The world turned, but not with

me in it. Wallpaper weakening its grip on my

secrets. Words separated from mind, an ignorance

subscription. She watched from the other side, a place I

used to be welcomed. A tree in the middle bearing seeds

of grayscale. Color less, it’s all we projected. ‘The

world turned, but not with you in it.’

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.
