POEM STARTER
Write a blank verse poem on a topic that's important to you.
Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but has a very strict structure which builds a melody through rhythm. (One way to create this is to structure each line with the same amount of syllables, and the same syllabic stresses, like you might if you were writing the verses of a song.)
Trying To Understand Myself
Why do I want to sleep
Why do I feel alone
I text people
But I still feel alone in my own little bubble
It’s not the same when face to face
But also
I don’t want to text them to talk
I want them to text me
Saying
‘Hey, how you doing?’
‘I want to talk about smth’
Or i dont know
Just tired of me texting others first sometimes
And when people do text me
They want info
Or something
Yea I get it
But still
I feel alone in my little bubble
It’s hard to understand
I also figured something out
I do a thing
When I feel like it’s my fault
When I feel like I deserve it
When i feel like I made the mistake to earn it
It’s complicated
My brain
When im talking
Goes from one thing to the next
And i probably annoy people with it
I feel sad a lot lately
Putting on a fake smile
Pressure is on me
Trying to be someone else’s life
Like they are living through me
It sucks
A lot of things suck
Just once
I want a person
To understand
I already have one
Maybe two
But definitely one
Thank you to that person
I also figured out
That I copy my friends
Personality a but
Like I take bits and pieces from them
And is it to try to fit in?
And to be more like them?
I don’t know
I’m not going to say
What they are
Cause even then
I am still trying to figure it out
But I am in my own little bubble
It feels
Just lying on my bed
Wanting to talk to people
But then I don’t want to talk to people
It’s like I crave something
I don’t want
I have one ore two friends
That help me and I help them
But at the moment
It only feels like one friend who actually wants to talk
I know it’s summer and their busy
And im just probably being annoying writing this
When they have their own stuff
But they can at least say something
But yea
Everything is confusing
Emotions are confusing
I don’t understand them
I want to
And I try to
But writing is the only thing
That helps sometimes
But also like
I feel like a burden
To my own friends
Like they are going to dispense me away
And that they don’t care what I feel
Or what I’m going through
But like when I am writing words
And saying that their thoughts
That should mean somehting is up
I know it might seem i am being rude
But I am not trying to be rude
I am just trying to cope
And this is how I do it
So don’t take this personally
I still like you friends
So don’t worry about it
Okay?
You did nothing wrong
And I am in the wrong
I also just want a hug once in a while
Even when I hate contact
(This is not good but you know cope! I don’t mean to be rude at all :( and Thats arnt all the emotions but they are so hard to writeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I don’t mean feel like I am in the wrong from writing this but Thats ok 👍. Uhh dont make fun of yourselves your awesome)
