POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a form of energy.
You may interpret ‘energy’ however you want, whether scientifically, magically, or metaphorically.
Energy
Energy
Something I don’t have
Ever
At all
Magically?
_Never_.
Scientifically?
_Definitely not. _
Metaphorically?
_In my dreams, maybe. _
I’m tired
Always tired
No matter how much sleep
This isn’t depression.
Right?
I don’t think it is
Well I’m not tired _all_ the time
Not with Valerania most of the time
We fuel each other
Get loud
And wild
But without them
I’m a bit low on energy
I’m out of it
No one could ever guess though
I’m always tired
Yet
My parents
My mom
Is always telling me to
Calm down
Shut up
Stop being wild
To just _stop_
I feel tired
But I don’t act like it
I dont want people to worry
No, wait
I don’t want **Valerania**
To worry
That its
Not other people
Mostly her
My parents say we’re dating
We’re not
We’re close
‘Closer then most girlfriends’ she says
We definitely don’t date
We just found someone
Who **finally** understands
I understand her
She understands me
We use our energy
To be with eachother
So afterwards
We’re both out of energy
Both of us
Being tired
And out of energy
