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.
