POEM STARTER
Uncertainty
Write a poem about the uncertainty of making a difficult decision.
helicopter parents
Saw a girl today
Leave the park with her mother
Wordlessly got in the car
There was an expanse of words she didn’t dare utter
Her friends freaked out
Worrying for their confidant
And as they spoke, talking bout their friend
I just stood there, watching it all
And that’s when it hit me
Girls being controlled
Isn’t a stupid fucked up fantasy
And so once she left
Her friends deleted messages
Got rid of everything
So that there wouldn’t be any evidence
This isn’t right! I wish to scream
But some part of me is just unable to
I feel detached from reality
Unsolved like a rubix cube
I feel sorrow for her
And the relationship with her parents she’ll have
Because the words once said
Can’t be taken back
She’ll escape their clutches
And then wonder why
She had to be the one to fall into this life
I want to scream, I want to cry
But there is not a single word that comes out
No fucking fight
And what’s worse?
I don’t even try
This just happened to me today, and the girl is someone I know. We were just hanging out at the park, with a couple guys, couple girls, and they’re all super close friends. I’m a sort of outsider, but only cause I’m a year younger than them, and her mother came to the park, and instead of immediate taking her home, she took a lap around the park to see all the boys that were with her. She left with tears brimming in her eyes, and her friend immediately got to deleting all the messages the showed she and a guy were talking. Said guy was there and is a close friend. I couldn’t believe this still happens. I hope that none of you are able to relate to this, and if you can, you are so, so fucking strong.
